Hello again! Fresh news! Finally i got rid of my outdated cd400.
I've bought an android headunit. So much better looking than the old one.
I've added a reverse camera and i'm not disappointed at all.
The interior is on point now and i'm really happy with it.

Hello again. Some fresh news. Onstar antenna with Calearo Fm radio module integrated.
I've bought a cheap Onstar antenna from ebay and painted it to white. The only reason why I changed it was because the first oem antenna I had was too small to fit the calearo module, my radio recepcion was bad and now its working really good.

Meanwhile eibach pro kit was fitted too. I'm really happy with it for daily drive, it's 30mm lower, confort wasn't compromised and the handling is a bit better.

That's it for now!

Hello again. Yesterday I've fitted the OPC steering wheel. What a difference it makes on driving and the leather is so smooth.

Thanks to Rusty for helping me out with some doubts.
