At first, I was thinking I'd get the caps and have them installed when I get my new head unit installed (non MP3 capability is a no-go), but I've read enough that I believe I can do this myself. If you accept Paypal or would prefer old-fashioned snail mail moola, please let me know.

A little bit about me since I have no pimped signature (yet): First laid eyes on the Crossfire when I was 23, in the Army training in Monterey, CA. Until last month, the only car in my life was a '94 Pontiac Grand Prix SE, fondly known as the Broomstick (It's my only ride..) While bored at work one day, I was doing my occasional after wishful thinking/browsing/shopping that I've been doing for years . I spotted a local Crossfire for sale in Tucson (AZ) that is now mine. It's an '06, Aero Blue, Limited, Roadster and we just rolled over the 25,000-mile mark last week. I'm happy to welcome "Broomstick 2.0" into my life, but without the tape deck that "original" had, I am very much missing my ever-evolving music collection.

The head unit that I'm excited to install can be seen here: Power Acoustik PD-718NB In-Dash Video Receivers (With Screen) at Onlinecarstereo.com.

I have an Infinity Basslink on hand and one in my Broomstick that's served me well for years, but I think the speakers in this car will last quite a while, based on their current performance. After this (and the "bang for the buck") mod, will come deeper (yet legal) window tinting, seat covers (even beige leather burns the butt in AZ), and... that should be it! There's nothing wrong with the performance or overall driving experience, so it's just about beefing up the creature comforts, which for me are all about the soundtrack.

<exhale>

I've been a lurker for a few months, and an envy-er for years, but now I can happily say "Hi! I drive a Crossfire!"
AnnisaRose,

just PM me. I'll get them to you.

Max
