Default Question about sound system....

Ok so I'm in the process of buying a new head unit and new speakers..

You could buy a kit that blocks off the excess room arround the head unit, but it looks like total ***.

Yeah but I can't afford a double din so I'll just cover that kit in carbon fibver and it will look fine

You sure it "looks like total ***"? Because I would disagree... This is the one from Crutchfield.

4GB USB flash drive. My head unit doesn't need an iPod/iPhone to play my music, or any other music player for that matter.
