Don't really consider this a Build thread for me, more of a journal i suppose.

So, Back in November 2015 I picked up this 07 GPW with about 34k on the ticker. Car is in great condition and doesn't look like it has ever seen any New England winters in its life.

The Cabin filter was clearly neglected... 34k miles of crap , In goes a fresh Denso one.

The air filter was not that bad but decided to change it anyways.

Upgraded the ancient Honda radio with a modern Kenwood unit. Bluetooth feature was probably the biggest thing I wanted from the new deck, HD radio and the USB port was a bonus. A Modifry DCI was added to keep all my dash controls working like it was OEM, very happy with that. Also added a Modifry cell phone holder to because there isn't much room in this car for anything and it sits in a pretty perfect spot for me to use Waze on my phone.

The previous owner left like 5lbs of audio cable in the car but removed the power cable... no idea why they didn't take this out too.

Was a bit bored and had some 3M di-noc laying around so I decided to fancy up the interior trip pieces a bit. I think it looks a lot better then the crappy black plastic that was there.

Nice car! Sorry I'm the biggest noob when it comes to audio. I really want to take out the bs that's in my car (stock) and put something with bluetooth. Do you know the model number and what do you mean it uses the oem port? Thanks in advance

I have the Kenwood BT762HD, It has Bluetooth, HD radio, and USB. When I bought it Amazon had the best price for it. Get the Modifry DCI and their harness too and everything will be plug and play

Some audio upgrades for the weak s2000 stereo. Polk Audio DB651s speakers and a JBL Basspro SL powered Sub. Sounds much nicer now.
