I am trying to decide whether to rebuild my dash with a radio cut-out or a blank plate. I do not want a modern looking head unit in the dash. I know I can get a vintage look with modern internal tech, but then why not just hide something?
What does the tribe think? |

I-Phone with blue tooth headphones. Simple and it sounds good.

Check your laws in Ohio it is an illegal way to listen to music in your car if your the driver. But then so is being a slower car in the left lane and well our states finest does not enforce that law either. Never ran one in the race car. I had a fuel gauge over there and a fuel pump switch. My 914-6 build has the original radio just sitting in the dash, and then I have a DSP Amp with bluetooth that drives a set of separates in the factory locations. Best of both worlds, proper look, and good tunes if you get bored with the sound of a -6. |

You can steal a car and they hold you overnight and release you the next day without a bond. Nobody cares if you wear headphones. 60MPH is nothing on our roads either. Twenty over is a normal speed around here too. |
