I certainly hope it sounds better than it looks. I would paint that surround to match, or cover all of the gray/black sections with carbon fiber.

Nice, mine looks kinda similar.

You should've bought the grey harness, not the black.

Don't fear the reaper, Blue Oyster Cult! Taste in music!

Now explain that wire sticking out please. Why after doing a clean install wouldn't you have that running out from the back?

Well, it's still not a 100% match, but unless there's direct sunlight hitting it, it's hard to tell.

That's the mic wire...that picture is a bit old, I've since then hidden the wire.

Good, looked tacky hanging out like that. Did you check in the ceiling console for the stock mic setup, 50/50 chance it's there.
