Those are some great additions! One thing I do wish I had ordered on my car are the red face gauges, they really look at home in the Spyder!

So how does the new stereo sound?

 

Stereo is perfect! I love it. I kept the tweeters low (In the OEM 4" location) to keep the sound in the cabin. I love how good the focal speakers sound.

The red gauges look great, but I won't say it was painless. It took 5 weeks to get them from FVD Germany. Then I did the mistake of trying to paint the cluster surround silver versus the volcano grey. The lens are glued in and my attempt to mask them was less than successful. Unfortunately I ended up destroying them. Luckily I could order a replacement from N. Hollywood Speedometer which was a lot cheaper than a whole new cluster ($2k+). After getting the new face on I had issues getting the needles in the right location. I ended up with the speedo and temp gauge not working. I had to send it in to NHS and they replaced the needle mechanisms. They are real sensitive suckers. So now they are done and look great! Moral of the story... order it from the factory!

 

I'm also a fan of the red gauges; they go well with the rest of your car. Nice!

 

Love the Focal stuff......Have their separates in my truck along with their 5-channel amp running everything including the sub. Amazing sound quality. Enjoy!
