SJW Member 122 Member For: 21y 8m 2d Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 23/08/03 02:52 PM Share Posted 23/08/03 02:52 PM I have converted back. My VXS Late model camira has been officially undervalued and traded in on a new XR6T. I have searched the site and seen some changes, tips and tricks that you all have done to your cars upon receiving them. ( such as putting film on the fog lights to prevent cracks ). Are there any more. I would love to be pro-active upon receipt of the car, rather than learn things the hard way.The first day of building was last Friday, am waiting patiently for 2 weeks ( hopefully by fathers day - woo hoo!!!!! , beats socks & undies )Also, has anyone changed over from the normal sound system to premium sound after they have received their car ? Is it easy ? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5679-the-little-things/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is financially viable. If it were possible I doubt you would be able to get it done for $900, Could cost as much as 3 times that value. You would need an entire new HVAC(Heat Vent Ait Control) unit, the upgraded speakers, and the sub and amp. Also judging by the cars delivered with premium sound having extra wiring, I think it may use a completely different wiring loom. So BIG dollars, and LOTS of work. Sorry to spoil things for you.

The current offer of $500 for $1500 worth of accessories might be used to install the premium sound system. Am waiting to hear back.
