Nice, huge box for the subs. I had a box that size in my last car, I'm thankful for my little 10" stock sub tucked into the side now lol.

congrats on the pickup, WW ftw.

Yeah it is... My girlfriend used to have a Celica GTS. She de-badged it when she bought it, and still had the badges after she sold it, so I decided to make my GTS stand out a little more, since Mitsu decided not to.

I take it Mitsu's stock Nav doesn't work with aftermarket systems? Or did you purchase the dash section for the Nav seperately? The pioneer looks damn good blending in well with the rest of the interiors lighting.

I bought the dash kit after I bought the car. It came with the factory base level deck. Honestly I am not sure if the stock Nav is able to hook up to an amp, but I would imagine it can. I had the amp & subs installed before I put the Pioneer in, so I know they can install a system in the car with the base factory deck.

The red badge looks real good on the white. I'd try to get rid of the dash in the GT-S if I could though. System looks great.

Oh, I also like that you got the Lancer's taillights in a shot with the IS'. They're very similar, but the Lexo's look so much better. We need someone to come up with a design like that and get rid of that terrible pink lens!

mitsu's taillight is basically the lexus's taillights turned upside down.. it seems like the mistu engineers took a lot of styling concepts from other cars like the front sometimes looks like the audi or the volvo... hmmm interesting..

Personally I can't wait for some good looking after-market tail lights to come out. I really hate these pink ones. And with all of the cars that have come out lately with the clear/black look, I don't know why Mitsubishi went with the pink. Anyone know of any after-market ones coming out soon?

I like the sound system you have a lot, haven't got one in mine yet. Quick question for you, I was under the impression that there wasn't anyway to put an aftermarket deck in our cars yet.... at least that is what some installers have told me, are they wrong?

Those installers may not be able to get special aftermarket adapters to make an aftermarket head unit work with a factory system (i.e Best Buy, Circuit City, etc). A private installer would know where to look. In this case he is using a base system anyway so there is no factory amp to deal with, correct? I know I had a hell of a time getting my Ralliart worked on and it cost quite a bit to have it rewired because it had Mitsu's S&S package.
