    I was planning on upgrading the car stereo with car play but when I found a cheap "car thing" on marketplace, I grabbed the unit since it's almost new (just opened but wasn't installed) It works pretty well when using the voice commands and with a premium spotify account you can request any music (even foreign ones!)

    Yeah this is exact type of thing I was talking about another post these things work so well now it's almost silly to be ripping the dash apart and putting in something with a I don't know 7-in screen and GPS I guess whatever these things here make much more sense especially now they're smart and all that stuff connect through your phone or Wi-Fi or however it's just seemingly the way to go Good job

    If you are planning on removing seats and carpet and have time I would add Kilmatz to the entire roof floor pan trunk and door panels. I did this mod in my wife car and it is noticably different than mine. It took a while but for $150 and a lot of labor it was well worth it IMHO.
    How is the clear coat?
