heres some pics. im annoyed that the button text is not color changeable like the button illumination (gills). the blue is both a mismatch and hard-to-read.

that being said, im going to give it a shot for a couple of weeks and see if it grows on me. if not ill return it, and reinstall my JVC.

i also noticed the connector on the back of the Clarion is the EXACT connector the XF uses... all the wires are even in the right spot. if you didnt have to use the pre-outs it would be a direct swap; no scosche harness would be needed.

edit: the Clarion pic is NOT the final installed pic. i just removed my JVC face and took a picture with the Clarion face in its place. i might actually try to paint the white Clarion bezel silver because i think it would blend better. we'll see.
