pioneer is better than kenwood, simple think just compare the cheap2 one on both, sounds, functions, etc n u'll know it, then choose the one suit ur budget n need, like me no need vcd, then get mp3 wit usb support enuf la, more money get alpine, more more money get eclipse lol.. ugly?? u buy HU for sound, not to watch it right?? summore nice HU later people break in lol, hehehe..
bout modding ur car, y dont u concentrate on interior 1st?? ICE, steering wheels, seats, etc., u'll drive n sitting inside rite?? convertd to evo interior surely feel like driving evo, eventhough it was onli stock car, hehehe..
