    Success thus far. Kept factory radio/CD player and swapped the separate cassette (in image below above little storage compartment) with a secondary CD, DVD, GPS, backup camera and MP3 unit via a GM auxiliary input converter. Now, when you click the "AUX" button on the factory radio where it used to then control the cassette player, it flips to this unit. I wanted to keep the factory look and then just have this second unit below

    Need to increase the opening where the cassette player used to live, but this is what is taking its place.

    Also adding a little 8" sub and amp mounted under the middle row of seats. Yeah, this was all for the kids ;)

    At first I was worried...Im basically talking to myself here. But then I just pretended like I was at home.

    So.......

    Just ordered a new radio (keeping the factory one in place and replacing the separate cassette with a GPS/DVD/CD/USB/Backup Camera/MP3 as an auxiliary unit), GM auxiliary input converter, two headrest monitors and an under middle row sub enclosure with built in amp. Should be a fun weekend (assuming it all comes by Friday).

    Id check out Maryland Speeds website, Exhaust, Magnaflow  muffler. I think it might already have a single 3" system. Some did, some didn't .  Floor mats, weathertech pricey but fit the best and stay put nicely. They look great too.

    Intake, I like the Outlaw performance one or the GM PERFORMANCE parts one.

    Rear entertainment, I'd check on eBay they sell headrests ready to go, some built in DVD some with out.  Or would you rather have the roof mount flip down?

    Thanks for the info. Just ordered the Weathertech mats. Best by far, from what I could tell and read. This is going to be our traveling car, so the rear entertainment portion is most important to me at this time and what the wife signed off already. I found a single din, but with a detachable face/monitor on Ebay with DVD/GPS and the rest for $200. Going to pair that with two headrest monitors and call it a day for that part.

    Pretty stoked to have another mild project since the CJ is done and doesnt even leave the garage!!!

    Chevy aftermarket parts....JC Whitney, Jegs, Ebay or somewhere else?

    Looking at a mild cat back system, intake of some sort, rear entertainment system for the kiddies and some all weather floor mats. We'll see how long that keeps me busy!

    Would love a nice 3" leveling kit and 33s, but think the wife would chop off my...

    I played baseball at a very high level for awhile and I found MoneyBall to be pretty much a great representation of baseball management and particularly scouting. As dumb as it sounds, ALOT of scouts rely on their "gut feeling" about a player by just watching his mannerism on the field. Scouts go by a thing called "the good face", meaning that when a scout looks at a player he has a face that looks like a professional ball player. Scouts also grade you on how you look in a uniform.

    Baseball is a weird sport man, a very weird sport.

    Definitely interesting....Its still a crock to try and credit Boston of utilizing the "Moneyball" philosophy when they won it whatever year they first one the WS after the curse or whatever. They spent something like like $140M that year! Hardly close to the $40M the A's spent.
