I didn't do the install, that was a job for the local stero shop (Advanced Audio). The graphics on the side were not my idea, they were dealer applied and it was also the only orange X that was at a dealership within 350 miles, so I got it anyway. At first I didnt really care for them but they have kinda grown on me, if you know what I mean. As for that rusty thing, its a power cap and its not rusty, thats the orange labeling on it. Allthough it does look a little rusty.
