The bluetooth for your phone costs about $500 depending on the dealer.
Now a days you can just buy a portable gps nav system that includes a bluetooth for your fone for $500.

19's on a stock X-Type rub. Especially if the city you drive in has crappy roads as they do in New York..

$500 is cheap. i was quoted $1800 to have the factory bt retrofitted by a dealer. for $870 and an hour or 2 of your time you can get a bt system that operates like the factory but has better reception and less problems at http://www.eurocarphone.com/. or you can buy a parrot bt system anywhere from about $100 to 400 (i think).

no idea where to get the dash kit from, but they usually come with no less than 18 pieces that i have seen.

you can install 19'sbut you will have to roll the fenders, and even then they may still rub. 18's will work with no problems.

18's but no wider than 8 inches. That way you can get some 235/45/18's on there and you shouldn't rub.

Not so sure 235's would fit without rubbing! My 17's with 225/45 rub on occasion...Seriously if you want bluetooth go buy a pioneer avic-d3 that has navigation and you can add bluetooth for like 150 to that. You will spend a little over 1000 for everything but its worth it more than just adding bluetooth to your car for $800+...I get avic d3's for $750 so you should be able to find some online for a similar cost...unless of course you already have factory nav! Pretty sure nineball has the wood kit you speak of...where did you get yours nineball?

If your looking for rims that fit go to tirerack.com and they will give you a selection of rims...they aren't usually blingy or anything but they look better or are bigger than stock ones...stick with 18's and try to get 7.5 wide if at all possible...

Welcome by the way!

I have 18x7.5" 40mm backspace, 225/40r18's. The outer edge of the fronttirerubs the rear of theplastic fender liner atnear full lock only whenbacking up. Doesn't do it going forward. (?) No problems on the rear unless the car's FULL! (3 bodies in the back seat.)
