So I went to talk to an installer today about my Amp and speakers and it turned into project for him and I. Right now I'm installing Alpine SPR-17S Components and an Alpine MRP-F250 amp in the car. The amp placement is unique since it's small enough to fit in between the seats.

Now the crazier stuff is that I liked what one member did in fabricating their console to allow a monitor underneath their stock radio and moved the button controls (Seats, Spoiler, Locks etc.) where the cupholder was. Well, the guy said he could do it and it wouldn't be too hard. Now instead of keeping my Single-DIN unit I'm going to go with a Double-DIN touchscreen head unit, like the Kenwood eXcelon DDX8019 since it has silver in it or the Eclipse variant; both are about the same price.

While the console is out being tinkered with we talked about changing the green LEDs to white LEDs for the console and dash. Eventually, we're going to do a suede headliner and remove the vanity mirrors (since I never use them) and maybe wrap up the A-pillars (could paint them but I'm not sure on that yet). 2 - 8" subs with fiberglass enclosures painted the color of the car is also on the list but that's probably going to end up being sometime early next year. I'll still have a trunk but it should end up being pretty sweet in the end, especially the Double-DIN DVD Head Unit.

Anyway, it's a couple month to a year project that will end up being very clean and not gaudy.

So the list is as follows: (Estimated Time of install)
Alpine Component speakers: Installed
Alpine Amp: Installed
Console Fabrication: (DEC 2007)
Pioneer Avic-Z1: (DEC 2007)
White LEDs: (DEC 2007)
Headliner/trunk: (Spring 2008)
(2) 8" subs in body colored Fiberglass box: (Spring 2008)

EDIT:

I just remembered that we also talked about doing Illuminated Door sills being White also. He said he could machine out the Crossfire and do any which color I wanted. I told him it'd only be worth it if it was under $350 (OEM one is that price and I know we can change the color on those with RPMs method)...I'm sure there will be more edits to come.
