Stock Radio

I wonder if someone could help me

Well, my question is if I can buy an aftermarket radio and replace the stock one, I have to buy another piece to install the radio or can I install the aftermarket radio where the stock one is?

And...well, I'm planning to buy a Rx-8 or a Hyundai Tiburon 2.0L...well, I know that the Rx-8 its better in performance...but the Rx-8 fuel economy its better or worst than the 2.0L Hyundai Tiburon? and wichone do you recomend me?

You can install an aftermarket headunit using a Metra kit - either single DIN or double. It's not too much work, very basic understanding of electrical needed and full instructions can be found everywhere.

And asking whether you should buy an 8 or a Tiburon on an RX-8 forum... Leaving that one to you.

Of course we will recommend the rx-8... As long as you plan to do a lot of up keep to keep her alive. They are a very very high maintenance car.

As for the stereo I recomend stock. Stock always looks cleaner then aftermarket.

I bought mine with a navigation double din already. I thought it looked like crap the only thing I could think of doing was vynl wrapping the teim piece.

Tiburon... they're very different cars, have you test driven each? Depends what you want to do with it. Nobody buys an RX-8 for the fuel economy so if that's a deal breaker for you then that's that. At the same time that 2L is anemic :/

I can tell you this if you love to drive the rx8 will set the hook.

The way it drives and handles is beyond amazing. The steering alone should seal the deal.

RX-8 versus Tiburon in a comparison? Not even in the same class. I embarrassed some ricer badly in a Tibby in my girlfriends bone stock Nissan Juke.
