Kenwood DNX-8120 / CCD-2000

Pretty straightforward install (following a few threads on here), with a few minor gotchas along the way.

The trim kit from Crutchfield didn't fit the head unit - nothing a bit of filing couldn't fix though! Hardest part of the whole thing was fishing the camera wire from the back door to the front.

The head unit:

Weathertech Digital Fit Floor Mats

Tan mats on a tan interior. Not as close a match as I was hoping for, but I still think they look good.

LOVE my weathertechs, expensive for mats but one of the best mods I've done.

Very happy with them so far. They do get dirty quick (which shows me the abuse the carpet mats were taking) but wipe right off. They're deep enough that they'd hold a lot of liquid before spilling out into the interior. My only negatives thus far are:

• Ridges inside are very shallow - won't take much before the water/mud is deep enough that my feet are in it
• Fit of the 2nd row mat is not as good as the front mats (this may work out over time as the 2nd row mat was shipped folded and had deformed a bit)
• Still don't have my cargo mat
