Hi Shane, Welcome to the Best Car Club in Town ;) Congratulations on Picking up your Rukus hope your Rukus Brings you a lot of Happy Driving & one word of warning don't feel ashamed if People call the Rukus names, believe me i have heard every name under the sun & now i am quite used to it & i not let it bother me. i own a Rukus Halo which is 2011 model which i am sure you are well aware :D i was one of the lucky ones to have driven my Halo straight from the Toyota Showroom & because i was so much Nervous i didn't get to see how many K's were on the Clock not that it mattered. if i wasn't owning a Halo i would have Picked the Furnace Color as i have seen it up close & love the many Sparkles it has in the paint work. my Sign writer who did my Halo sticker on the back Bumper was also Owning a Halo here in Cairns but come 7 days short of 1 year old he had an Accident which wasn't his fault & sadly his Halo was written off & now he is also having the same Rukus Model as You the Beautiful Burgundy. sadly i couldn't afford to put 18's on my Halo still keeping the 16's with Painted Purple wheel inserts which look quite amazing now that i have had them newly repainted also my Mirror's & Spoiler freshly repainted. i am sure you will not Stop at doing your modifications as i seem to be going & going ;) when will it end hmmm. Yeah you don't want to go too low hahaha. i am here also if there is anything you would like to know even though i am still learning myself :rolleyes: i too Love E-bay there is so much that you can get for your Rukus & i just ordered 4 set of Scion xB Mud Flaps from a guy in the States, if you are wishing to buy mudflaps send me a pm & i will send you the link as the guy knows me & looked after me & i am sure he will look after you too just tell him you know me ;) even though my Halo is nearly 3 years old in April next Year i have found that driving on the road & not having mudflaps has many times Splattered mud, black tar, & all the other Sh*t & it drives me Crazy but then again i am having a lighter Color than you. OK that's it from me hope to see you on here a little more. Hope you Enjoy your Rukus, we are the Chosen few to Drive this Magnificent Beast :spiteful:

Check out my gallery for a pic of my new head unit. Got it off ebay, plugged straight in. no joining wires so it was a piece of cake. Now if I can only find that pesky antenna booster wire. Its got gps, dvd. Bluetooth with ad2p, usb. sd card, and even digital tv,(but im still sortin that out) plus a whole bunch of other stuff all for 300 Aus delivered. I wish it could make cappachinos

Hi Skintoonz, what do you think of the Ebay head unit. whats the sound quality like etc. Im also thinking of updating my build 1 head unit

Hey Quit. Yea I like it and it was super easy to fit as I got the one designed for the rukus so it had the same plugs. It was an eanon http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370770650889?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_15873wt_1006. This seller has Aus warranty, but I wasn't impressed with their service. Told me they had in stock so it would take a couple of day but it came from china and took 2 weeks. But overall the unit is quite good and easy to use. Good luck.
