looks perfect to me, and nothing around the sides, and double din is not a ford size
this is what the cts (not mine) looks like stock i had to literally take that whole trim off, measure, cut it with a dremel tool, file it down ect, to the exact specs of the pioneer navigation unit, fits like a glove, took a whole weekend but was well worth it doing it myself. my buddy had to wire it because GM has it so that the radio stays on after you take the key out until you open the door. the wiring harness alone was 100$ because of the onstar crap and such. i threw him 70 bucks to wire it in, i watched him do the whole thing. at first we struck a problem, the pioneer would stay on all the time, weather the key was in or not, door open or closed ect. he had to tap into a wire that was only powered when the key was on, which ended up being the climate control power wire ect ect getting confusing now, hes the wiring guru but i pretty much learned a couple tricks from him watching him do it. when i first bought the car, places were quoting me 500 to 600 to cut out that space and wire it in. nothing like the good ol do it yourself technique. im not a pro stereo installer but shit, putting that thing in the altima or millenia is a cakewalk compared to the bs to get it in the caddy

thanks you sir i sure could use the money at this point, but im not trying to cut in on your business or nothin lol
Ghost how much are you charging shipped and do I need to ship you my extra grille?
no i dont make them clue does, i have one that i bought from clue back in like 05 when i had my millenia
shit a billet for the cts is like $450, i wish i could find a cheap one somewhere, im probably gonna end up getting a mesh cts v replica grille for 130ish off ebay
-
they probably make a trim piece to stick around it for a perfect fit, i had the trim piece for the altima, heres a picture of it installed in my cts, but, for the cts, i had to actually cut out the factory radio trim to fit it in there, basically a big custom job, took me all weekend..
it looks weird because of the flash but in person it looks pretty darned good

just some sort of metal, im not sure if it has to be ground, like i said before, my altima, i had it stuck to this big metal bar that ran inside the dash, and it worked fine in there. on my cts, when i first installed it, i stuck the gps antenna on another large metal area inside the dash, and it got no signal, infact anywhere metal inside the car gets crappy signal that will not work efficiently, or no signal period. after messing around, i stuck it onto the roof of the car to see what happend, and it got full bars signal strength. so for the final spot, i ended up having to run the gps antenna wire under the cars carpet, all the way into the trunk, so that i could stick it on the outside of the trunk lid, as the only area to get signal is somehwere outside the car. i asked around some experts on the pioneer forums, and they have no idea, eventually i may buy a new antenna and try mounting inside. ive read that some windows may block radio waves/signal ect, that may have something to do with it. as for the millenia, im not sure, try sticking it inside the dash on a thick metal area, that may cure the problem
-
the reason for faulty gps signal is because that antenna must be stuck onto something metal
-
where did you mount your antenna? in my altima i had it stuck on metal inside the dash and it worked great, now in my cts, the only place it picks up signal is on the outside of my trunklid, try sticking it on the roof temporarily and see if that picks up the singnal, if not, then you may need a new antenna

dark green was the best millenia ever

havnet gotten a chance to get pictures up guys sorry, probably on wed or thursday ill have them up, don if you were talking to me, i got them done at georges auto detailing near the end of route 38 right before the ben franklin bridge, they do excellent work, they actually have theyre own tint guy come in there he doesnt actually work there, hes paid from them to come there ect. does a hell of a job, one piece on the rear windshield ect. ill have some pics up wed
and speaking of georges, its one of the best places to get a car wash if your in the area, its 20 bucks, they do a hand wash, dress the tires ect, takes about 20 to 30 mins, for the winter, its better then going through the machine was that scratches the shit out of your car
-

coming up tomarrow
Clue prolly got it done in NJ, I hear they will do it there...
but wouldnt they be anal about it in ny? because in NY you cant have any tint at all if im not mistaken
