I just saw it at my local dealer (actually, my sister might buy it) and shot a few photos. It hasn't been washed and it was extremely sunny but I hope you enjoy the pics nonetheless.

Rep Power: 0 I thought the headunit would clash with the interior, but it actualy looks pretty good in real life.
The tweeters look alright and sound pretty good as well. But I was wondering if they would have sounded better in the door sails.
It's not like a major interior update was made for those tweeters.
It looks more like "bore a hole here and plop in tweeter with trim ring".
Overall, the SE was only $500 more than the regular LX. Considering the wheels, spoiler, and HU, it's a bargain.

yeah. i don't like the tweeters in the doors there either. looks too crowded in that area. also, they should have added the brushed aluminum trim kit to the interior. the radio seems to stand out TOO much!

Factory stuff is not my thing you can get better wheels/tires and head unit if you save the money they want for the OEM stuff.

And for those kind of people that aren't into aftermarket wheels, it's great.

I like it.I'd want all that stuff in my car... Of course, I'd still like to keep the front end of my car too, so I'd just stick with my car... But if I had to get a new one, I'd def. get that. Awesome, now they can slowly advertise "6 speakers!!!" hahahaha...

Rep Power: 0 The funny thing is that stereo is an in dash 6 disc cd changer AND an mp3 player. Once you have a cd full of mp3's, you don't need 6 discs anymore b/c one mp3 cd can hold over 10 hours of music. Maybe you can put six mp3 cd's in there and have 60 hours of music?
It also has an aux input right in the front. I guess you can hook your ipod into it and just play music till you're old and gray w/o ever having to leave your car.
I'm more interested in that center dash piece so I can put a double din aftermarket stereo into my 03 vic and have it look good, as opposed to the cheezy metra kits which look like garbage.

Rep Power: 0 I just ran through my numbers again and I made a mistake:
the SE is $595 more than the standard. Sorry for the misinformation.
It's still an unbeatable deal, considering what you get for that $595.

Yeah its def. a deal. As for the rims most OEM rims aren't anything to write home about. I don't think they're any better or worse than the normal EX rims and they are certainly better than steelies and covers like the ussual LX. I wish they had used different rims to differentiate the EX SE and LX SE's though.
