Bought a new car stereo (56k Warning)

I had planned on getting Magnaflows for the Mach 1, but when I showed up on Saturday morning the shop was closed - so I asked the performance auto store that shares space with them and they said the guys weren\'t coming in today because the were and I quote "getting drunk down at the river".  Needless to say I got pretty pissed because I can\'t get there during the week and they knew that so I decided I would skip the exhaust and go with a new soundsystem.  I still need to get my $100 deposit back from the exhaust place and I will call on Monday - if they give me a hassle I will dispute the charge on my CC.  

I wanted to play my Ipod in my car and I had some money so I bought a Sony F770 Stereo for the Mustang.  I had it wired so I could also use my Ipod in the car as well.  Here are some pics...

Aux Line - the Ipod sits in my cupholder for now, I need to find a nice holder for it.

And one of the Mach - just washed and with the windows tinted.

That headunit looks great.  It must be a new model for Sony; I don\'t remember seeing those about six months ago.  Are you satisfied with the sound?  Were you able to reuse the external amplifiers from the stock system?

Yeah I kept all of the stock speakers and amps... The sound is amazing and best of all I can play my Ipod.  The head unit does have the ability to play a CDR full of MP3\'s, but that is what I have the Ipod hook up for.  It ended up costing me $400 installed and it does look clean.  Core you can take credit for my decision as I remebered what you said about stereo\'s a week or so ago.

That was a good investment.  I need to do some work on my audio system too.  

Here is what I spent some money about two weeks ago.  OZ Superleggera wheels (17x7 front and 17x8 rear) and Bridgestone Potenza RE050 tires (215/45R17 Front, 245/40R17 Rear).  This purchase was a little painful.    However I needed to replace my rear tires and I didn\'t want to be stuck with 16" stock wheels for another two years.  

That looks nice Core - It has a classic roadster look.

What I would like to do to my car:

get new possibly chrome rims, 5 star design, maybe with the gap in the middle

new head unit. mine is melted. The old owner of the car smoked cigars and well, he melted a lot of the center console I\'ll post pics later.

New tires. A must. Maybe I\'ll get sporty looking tires.

A dog took a piss in the car (former owner). I still can\'t get the stain out.

Replace the center console plastic. Again, melted (pics later)

repaint front and rear bumpers (pieces of plastic missing and stuff like that)

remove the scratches. That will be fun. There\'s more scratches than paint.

I want to paint my brake calipers yellow. That would be sweet

Get a Mach 1 style hood (saw it in a pic of a Thunderbird like mine)

Get my engine horse power up to atleast 270 (205 right now. 4.6L V8)

I think thats about it. I hope to do all this within the next couple years

Nice car.  You probably don\'t want to hear what I\'ve got to say about the Sony but glad you like your iPod connectivity.

nothing like a new car stereo.
GF just bought a LG TCH-600
 
it was cheap and does a great job.

nice ride core..i don\'t see too many of those on the road...where do you live? that backdrop looks like it\'s on the side of a mountain..and that road back there looks to be the perfect fit for a test drive  nice winding road..

THX lets hear it.  I still have 30 days to take it back gotta love Circuit City\'s exchange policy.

It probably isn\'t his car per se. I don\'t doubt that he has an S2000 but he probably didn\'t take a picture yet. Its probably a picture that a car site or magazine took. Either way, its a nice ride and Core must have fun with it.

I\'m not buying crap for a long long time.  Looks like we are going to build a house soon.  There goes the fun cash.
