Whilst the Prelude is still in the garage, (MOT failure, now fixed, will update Lude thread), I've been overly generous with the HR-V
I found a set of brand new Honda Sport Pack Alloys for the HR-V, (thanks eBay), hopefully they'll look good when fitted, the original wheels are bubbling nicely. These where still in the original Honda packaging:

Major update is the Audio:
The original dash with Honda badged Pioneer 4x30 watt CD Tuner. Only 2 front speakers installed, (rears and tweeter where optional extras, as was the CD changer). Speakers and the system as a whole is rather poor.
The replacement will be this Pioneer AVH-Z9100DAB:

Originally got a lower model, but decided I needed the dual USB input and better sound quality, (to be fitted next week).
The current Pioneer installed is the AVH-Z5100DAB, single USB input, apple carplay etc. Very nice:
The Pioneer has 2 camera inputs, front and rear cameras installed:
Next - out with the crappy cones and MB Quart fitted:
Fully sound deadened in the door panels, (they basically took the car apart), completely rewired with some thick gauge wiring.
The rear speakers have Mb Quart coaxials.
The HR-V got two amplifiers, a 1400 watt 4ch and 2000 watt 1ch. The subs went to the spare wheel well.
Here's a series of photos showing some of the construction:
So far the sound has been immense with incredible power. Once the new unit goes in I should be able to play. Via a microphone the Pioneer has an auto EQ - not sure if they are as good as the likes you see in home cinema kit?
Certainly never intended to go so far with the upgrade, but I wanted the sound without some boom box occupying the boot. Wheel well seemed the best place.
