I'm looking to install an in dash aftermarket Nav/audio/video system like the pioneer avic-d3 en lieu of the oem RNS-E (way too expensive and very few functions).
What I need is a shop that can do good custom work like a faceplate that will look flush with the unit/panel so it looks as oem as possible. I've seen some nice work done over at audizine but alas they're all in the US.
If anyone has a hook up for this system or knows a good shop for installation, please let me know.
Here's a pic of the unit, and the type of job I'm looking for:

Thanks!

they still deal with all the stereo install now, but the shop actually moved and was kinda become a mod shop since the owner changes his interests to Track racing more than the car stereo
they are located at Denison/Esna park now

The faceplate is simple, the difficult part is the blue leds that match.
The standard buttons in the RSX are backlit in red, these have been changed to blue. Someone did a alot of work on this car to make it match that perfectly. I have seen it done, and it sucks because the dash needs to be redone too.

That is an RSX, but the lights aren't the hard part. The unit itself actualy has different colours of backlights you can choose from. There's actualy a perfect match for audi red, it's pretty neat.
I know that it's not just a simple plug and play, but this has been installed into a ton of audis on audizine, with really nice custom jobs. I'll post a link if I can later.

Years ago, experience has been good from what I have heard. Now, partly due to what you mentioned with the owner taking a different direction, the experience has been mixed.

This was just what I found after a qucik search. The OP has the botched job. Notice how the unit is not flush and there's an inner faceplate and a bigger outer one.
A few posts down you'll see some custom ones. They're not great, but I'd be satisfied with something like those.<ul><li><a href="http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123282&highlight=avic">http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123282&highlight=avic</a</li></ul>
