ok, I am new to this posting stuff so we will see if it works. I have a 2000 white GTS which you may have already guessed. I have already painted the trim pieces on the dash and around the gauges white, finished making one of the two speaker boxes that is molded from the sides of the trunk in fiberglass, and had all my speakers replaced with Infinity 6.5's. I have also installed clear taillights, which I really hate on most cars, but love the way they look on white and silver ones. I plan on moving my antenna from the stock location to the roof, probably going to use a Jetta or Focus one to replace it. Probably going to be in the front because the moonroof might hit it in the back. I plan to replace the black leather on the door panels in white too, as well as figure something out to add more white to the seats. I have molded 2 speakers into the hatchback cover, so they fade into it like the heater vents fade into the dash, with 4.5inch Infinity 2 ways, but may not keep them, they don't add the kind of sound I thought they would. So then, other than anything that makes it sound or look like those punks who drive Civics, what else can you think of for me to do to the inside? Pics will be up sometime when I get all finished and develop them.

DVD player w/ monitor and PS2 seem to be popular options.

Hey i'm pretty new to this too man so i'm giving it a shot. I like your choice with the infinity speakers. i was debating between infinity and audiobahn. i ended up doing audiobahn 6.5"s all around. However i seem to have a lot of rattling in the back. Does yours do this??? Anyway, i put the carbon fiber dash trim in it and painter the piece around the speedometer white also. If you were to take that assembly apart again and paint the piece around the gauges white you could have the whole thing white. ALso if u do the carbon fiber you could buy the CF bezel to go ontop the white around the gauges. If you were to get indiglo gauges at night it should all glow a nice blue.

Hey you could always do the carbon fiber dash trim. WIth the kit is a small piece that goes runs around the bottom speedometer thing you painted white. If you were to take that apart again and paint the piece which lays over the gauges white. You could then buy a carbon fiber bezel to lay over the white to make it a pretty sweet background. If you were to do indiglo gauges the speedometer area would be white and carbon fiber. At night it should glow a nice blue. I think thats what i'm gonna do. Just thought i'd offer the idea to you too!

ok, here's responses:
I like Infinity, always have, so I went with them. I don't think it matters what you have, you will have rattles because the plastic touches the metal, it needs something more, I have dynamat, just haven't laid it in yet.
I don't want to go carbon fiber because I am trying to match the exterior.
I didn't change the guages, just the piece that looks like a sharks mouth open with no teeth that surrounds the whole guage cluster. I don't mind the guages the way the are.
I want to know if there is a good place around Seattle that can do my seats, I want them to have white on them too, as well as the leather on the doors.
I will look into the idea of the PS2 install, sounds cool, but maybe a little out of my budget right now when I have to buy the screens too, we'll see. I have a dreamcast collecting dust, I'd put that in, but the games suck, hence the dust.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will read more as they are posted.
