Default External RCA jack mod (Audio R/L+Video)

thought of doing this mod a while back but haven't had the time. anyway got around to it finally and i am very happy with the results. i wanted to make my inputs more user friendly now i can hook up pretty much any source i want very easily. i tested it and it works like a champ. install was easy, just had a problem with getting the cup holder out. there is a bolt behind the cup holder that has to come out. anyway i bought all my parts at radio shack. total cost was about $30. i am sure this can be done for cheaper than $30 but i got some decent hardware. anyway here are three pics of the install.

I realize i could have hidden these jacks but i did not want to. i am building my Z for show so i want the modification to be seen. this mod can easily be done in a stealth fashion.





blurry pic! i cap them when not in use. the black caps makes them harder to see.

capped! camouflages the jacks into the background pretty well.

Z-INCOGNITO: Your install looks nice! your setup would look good for show too because you can just open the door. nice work! did you do it yourself?

Nah... can't take the credit

I got it done at AUDIOMOBILE in Oakland, CA. I'm not into the car show thing, but i like simplicity and i wanted the car to look like your everday z, but with all the hidden agendas... im still woring on the slim ps2 stealthy setup... almost there

as far as audio/video all i need now is kds-901 (DSP), nav, center channel speaker and perhaps another screen (not sure where though). just picked up a paint sponsorship. so i will have my kit repainted to match better. Hot Import Nights is just around the corner, i want to be ready for that show.
