Ideas for upgrading...

Whats up!
I've been thinking for a while about ways to improve the interior functionality-wise. After owning the Acura TL for three weeks I've come to the conclusion I need now a TV with a GPS navigation instead of the Delco stereo.

Here is what I am thinking of getting to add into a C5 all the 'added' functionality a C6 has.

-A good HID upgrade.
-Double-din Rosen R6500 DVD-6.5" screen.
-Rosen R6500 GPS upgrade for navigation.
-2004 shocks and sway bar bushings.

Any thoughts? Has anybody tried or used something similar to the Rosen R6500 unit? I think that unit is just awesome.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

G.

oh my God. That is awesome!!!. It looks exactly to what I had in mind.
Do you know what is the name of the double-din deck with the TV? Does it have GPS? I am specially interested on the navigation stuff.
I've noticed the climate control stuff was relocated down, I think the R6500 unit has a radio and a CD/DVD player built in. (motorized front TV face)
Is it difficult to install it yourself or I am better off handing the job to somebody else?

That appears to be forum member Redshift's car. He's a forum vendor and he's posted on what he did, and with what, before.

i think this PFYC.com car... and the it shows a four cornere video fo the car... so this is not a TV or GPS i think..


since you guys have a lot of experience with those systems.. can you please post pics of aftermarket systems that look good? cuz i dont like the look of an aftermarket GPS.. it would look so much better if we had a 'stock' lookalike screen.. does anyone get wat i mean?
