Default Good audio/sound installation shop in Houston?

Looking for a good shop in the Houston area to upgrade my stock cd player. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Any stereo shop can install a CD player. Hell, I'm willing to bet you could do it yourself. However, if you don't feel comfortable, go to a shop and try to find an older guy with experience (they usually do the best job) and asked if they've worked on a Z before.

If you have the money Custom Car Stereo does quality work. If you're planning a simple headunit, then just DIY. My general experience is that you get what you pay for, thus I stay away from Best Buy, Car Toys, Fry's etc. but there are a few exceptions.
