Hmmmm it looks a little bit different, but in general, it looks pretty similar. The dash I have is black though, not silver.

LOL And the chapstick in my ash tray is black.

Yeah I''m pretty sure it''s black- I could be wrong though. LOL except for when I go on road trips I''m never actuallyin the car so I could just have been color blind!

Yep it''s black. I''m going to try to call the soundshop to see prices on custom install today. If it''s not too expensive, I may try and get it done for the 4th of July weekend in VA.

Thats what I''m trying to focus on finding now. I''m not even focused on getting the unit right now since it''s no use in having a unit that I can''t install! If I can''t find one I may just go ahead and get my STR wheels and call it a day till someone else finds one LOL.

I just got in touch with a shop in the ATL area that said they''d do it for just under $200 (price includes harness etc.). They offered $1100 installed for a DNX5120, but they didn''t have the DNX7120 so I''ll be ordering it for about $850-$900 offline. It''ll come out at about the same price either way hopefully. Just as long as I''m not there and they jack up the price mid instal!!!

What dash kit are they using 03? I asked several shops and they all said they''d have to make a dash kit and just the kit would cost 500! I don''t know how a shop is going to do the install and supply antenna adapter, dash kit and wiring harness for 200 bucks. I''d be weary about that. Also are they just going to cut wires and hard wire it? Shops charge ya 30 bucks for any cheap harness let alone a jaguar harness, dash kit, antenna adapter and labor of a head unit. Best buy/CC charge over a 100 bucks just to install a unit that has a tv whether it be double din or flip out for american made cars. BTW they raise their prices when you buy elsewhere so my guess is they are making their money on install by raping ya on the head unit. That or just cutting your wires off and hard wiring it. Just be careful because as you said they love raising prices mid install and they do get away with it.
