Hello. Just traded my 2007 Pontiac GXP in for a 2011 Buick Regal CXL (non turbo). Love the car...and the ride. Once Christmas is over I plan on tinting the windows and putting somewhat of a better stereo in it.

Anybody change the basic regal headlights to the gs headlights yet? I would love to do it. The GS headlights are only about a grand a piece (ouch). Not sure if the factory wiring would accept it.

I will post pictures as soon as I get my windows tinted (I'm hoping in a couple weeks) I just discovered that Metra makes a stereo adapter kit for our cars. Im pretty excited that I can put my pioneer tv in this car. The factory stereo is pretty blah.

Heres my regal with tint on it. This picture is with 15% on the windows but it was waaaay too dark so we peeled it and put 25% on it. Dont have a pic with the 25% on yet cause the weather hasnt allowed me to be able to clean it.

I'm considering the same kit with a Pioneer nav unit. Have you installed it yet? Which radio did you install?

I decided to go a different route with the stereo. Im installing a JL audio cleansweep which lets me keep the steering wheel controls and provides a clean signal to the amp. Just started this project. Going to add a JL 12" sub and a rockford fosgate component set for the doors.
Heres a couple pics of the stereo out. What a pain that was.

welcome!

do you have a full write up of how you wired the audio system to the steering wheel controls?
