Default Bought 01 s2k from NY shipped to AZ

Hey I recently bought a 01 spa yellow S2K from NY and had it shipped to AZ. The S came with a stock hardtop and and everything else was stock. Car had 27XXX miles on it so hasnt really been driven.

Only gripes i have about it is that there are some minor dents and scratches on the outside, the rear bumper was hit but not badly damaged and the arm rest pad leather is coming up. Otherwise under the hood everything is clean.

First thing im thinking about doing is upgrading the stereo and having the rims powder coated black. I already got a sub box that fits into the hole in the trunk and an amp rack, just need to take apart the interior to dynomat it and run the wires. I want to get a 2 din screen but dont know how practical it is and dont really want to cut into anything. Was looking at the pioneer AVIC-D3 just have to figure out if it fits. Any ideas or advice someone wants to give me.

Otherwise hello S2ki.

Good luck fitting a double-din without cutting something.

NOOOOOOO!! the stereo will only make it heavier, aka. slower
don't cut the dash unless you want to ruin resale.

Check for rust underneath, NY cars are known for it due to the amt of salt used. Congrats!!! Great color choice, yellow is the fastest color by the way.
