Default Appealing headunit?

So I have been wanting to upgrade my sound system in my car but the silver accent through out it makes it tough to match. Has anyone found an appealing looking silver deck that can hook up to an iPod? I can be fine with other options (not against black but would prefer to keep silver) just don't want some cheesy looking unit put in it.(Also, it seems that every silver deck has been a marine application with marine written on the front of it.)

I have had flip screens before and they are great if you get a quality brand and then again I have had one where the iPod stored inside the unit which was really cool!

Looking forward the getting some feedback from y'all!

That looks pretty clean! That's the marine application right? Still able to control the iPod through the deck or you have to use iPod?

I purchased this unit - it's a perfect match.

AM/FM/CD/MP3 CD/CD Changer/5 Pre amp outputs......

Just swap the plastic face plate with your OEM....

Then buy something like this to connect your Iphone to the CD Changer and control your iPhone from your stereo. Even has a Bluetooth unit for the phone functions....

Audio-Link iPod AUX Becker Adapter Mexico Monza Traffic Online DTM Grand Prix | eBay

Or perhaps something along this line would work well.... Just get a different BT adapter - the back of the headunit has phone inputs that will mute the stereo (or turn it on) an let you hear the phone from the speakers.

Newer, cheaper better technology. XM ready, connects thru Bluetooth or USB and you can use Pandora on your Apple device.
