    I'm so damn confused!!! Ever since I went the "Black & Red" route with my car, I've converted everything over, even my gauges. And I NEED a new head unit for my Charger, BAD. I've been looking over the past few months and doing my research. I DON'T need nav, as my Charger isn't the "road trip" car, lol. So all I need is something with 3 sets of 4V preouts, that has iPod control. I REEEEEEAAALLLLLLLLLLLY want this head unit. It's total badass:

    HOWEVER. It doesn't change colors!!!!!!! So that means I'm stuck with this blue friggin screen!!!!! It's an amazing head unit, but totally throws off the color scheme of my car and interior. What would you guys do?????? (Crutchfield just put an amazing price drop on this thing too, $500 off!!!!!!)

    I DO THAT ALL THE TIME, LMAO!!!! But a little Metallica or Five Finger Death Punch or August Burns Red or WolfMother, blasting in the background once in awhile is good for the soul!!! :D
    I KNOW. IT'S PERFECT. Just the wrong color.
    Yup. I've been looking at that one too, lol. :) However, the price on the Pioneer has me captivated!!!! The clarion is double!!! And I've always envied your grille badge.........BIG TIME.

    I looked on Alpines site as well, but they too have blue as the main scheme. haha

    Go to a local Sound/Audio store, I bet they are having some good sales for Xmas going on.

    You can usually talk the sales guys down in price as well.
