so i just bought a 06 silverstone s2k. i was wondering what are some basic upgrades i can do to the stock stereo. i does not have an AUX for my ipod so im wondering what a good radio is for that.



also, id like to powder coat my stock wheels some time in the near future. any good colors? i was thinking a dark purple?

 

Take a look in the Electronics subforum. If you want head unit suggestions then you need to be very clear regarding what you're looking for and budget. What are you attempting to do? How much are you willing to do? Don't assume that your notion of "good" (or any other highly subjective word) is the same as everyone else's (on any topic). If we all had the same preferences we'd all use the same head unit.

Again, highly subjective.

 

Not that I like the look but a lot of people have tried plasti dipping their rims with great success. Look up the playing card trick if you decide to go this route.

 

I did this, I'm not sure if I will keep it or not. I did another trick, wipe silicone tire shine on the wheels, make sure you don't get any of the rims. It will peel off or fall off after driving at highway speeds for an hour.
Also, don't skimp on the plasti-dip. You need close to a can per wheel. It makes it easier to remove, and if you go thin like I did on one wheel, it will wipe off if someone touches it when the wheels are hot from a long highway trip. The others wheels were fine.

This was the quickest and cheapest way to see if I would like matte black rims. If you are on the fence on power coating your rims matte black, try this, cheaper and if you don't like it, you can peel it off.

I am not sure if plasti-dip comes in purple. I bet it does, but that isn't my style so I never looked for it.

 

You can actually buy a plastidip kit where you can mix colors. Plastidip: Create your Color Kit
