That question is vague. Need to know what you are looking for, what style?

I mean especially for audio. You can got from just upgrading stock speakers, to adding a decent 500 watt or less system, to the all out how much can I carry/can the car handle and be loudest I can setup.

No, I like the Steering Wheel Lock Mech, but busting the ign ckt to start the car will do nothing .... digital lockout ckt is also employed.

I'm saying, you still have to use the key to start the car essentially then, correct?

ultimatepedals.com

great customer service. last i called they don't have a set for our car but they have the xb. does the xb use the same size pedals? anyway, all they need is the measurements, and they have a variety of textures/options as well as the much needed dead pedal for the XD.
i've had their pedals on my previous cars and they were top notch quality.

hey guys sorry delayed response,
before the new release series came out on the xd i was thinking about painting my inside pieces white. and after seeing the release series with the painted inside just confirmed my ideas. i think it looks pretty kick ass. so probably going to do that also, was thinking about putting a bazooks tube in the back and was trying to figure out what size would be a good. input? i am pretty much only looking at the inside to mod because i live in Munice,In and the roads here are pretty much crap and don't want to put some rims on and then have them cracked two seconds later.

thanks,
andyxd

ya all the inside console parts are white but i did come across the dinoc white carbon fiber film and that stuff looks pretty awesome. thinking about getting that now instead of paint because that stuff looks pretty damn sweet.
