No, the reason I want it to look stock is because I want it to look classy. I'm not worried about security issues, my thoughts are that if they want it bad enough, they'll get it no matter what. But, the real reason I want it to look stock is because I want my car to look stock, all of it. I don't want anything flashy, no silver or anything. I was thinking of getting the in-dash CD player from Ford, but that's $400 alone ( ) and I am NOT wasting my money on that. I'm still considering Nak, but the reason I wanted this Bose system is because I think it looks cool, and my Pontiac has a factory Bose system in it, and it sounds absolutely perfect (nothing compared to the you-know-what, but it's still pretty good for a 12-year-old system). I mean, the factory system in tme Mystique sounds good enough for me, but I can not go without a CD player any longer, I buy new CDs, and have to take either mom's car or the 6000 to listen to them, taking mom's car is great...if she's nice enough to let me, but those times I take the 6000 just to listen to the CD, I lose all the cornering fun. But, does Alpine have rotary volume knobs? I hate these stinking buttons! The "-" side of the volume in my Mystique likes to act as a "seek" button sometimes, REALLY annoying when you have the stereo near max volume, and need to turn it down cause youre going thru a drivethru. But, thanks for all the suggestions
