    Head Unit replacement - I absolutley hate touch screens Formany reason The most imprtant feature to me was Bluetooth for hands free calling and a lsten to Podcasts alot while commuting. I went with the Metra Dash kit because I preferred the textured look. Radio wise I have had good experiences with Kenwood in the past so I just picked a basic one that fit my needs.

    NICE! Love the before and after pictures. I totally agree with you on the touch screens however my thing with them is fingerprints, I can't stand fingerprints on glass or any similar surface.

    Good luck with the build!

    The Rivet Grille I bought off of (Link) Amazon I had planned to install I ended up sending it back it just did not line up correctly with the lower brackets and did not want to snap in. I already had trepidation about installing the seal which and to be glued on with some form of adhesive and didn't line up vey well. It looked good but fitment was sketchy at best.

    I ended up doing something with my OEM grille for the time being. I post pics later.
