Looking For A New Head Unit! Help!

Hello everyone, I have been looking for a new head unit for my 03 mcs for a while now.
but I cant find one I like.
See my problem is that I would like to get a head unit with the same amber color as all the factory gauges and and interior color.
I just cant find one.
Of course I would like one that looks nice too

If anyone knows of one please let me know!

Thanks

When you get to the mini2 sticky, check out the Nakamici 400 which does not play mp3, or the 500, which i think does. If anyone knows a head unit that looks closer to the oem then the Nak, please let me know which one. Thanks!

this Clarion unit ... the DXZ645mp has over 80 adjustable colors for the face

http://www.clarion.com/usa/products/.../DXZ645MP.html

its from last years models, but available on eBay, etc.

The new 05 models have the same variable color displays, but the units themselves look a little gauky IMO.

yea i use to have a nakamichi headunit in my civic... its still the best sound quality i've heard.. its all about quality sound plus the unit looks like a stock unit so no one will want to jack it.. Highly recommend it.. however i hear it doesn't connect well to the multi function steering wheel .. not sure about newer models but on older ones.
