Default Color "match" replacement head unit

Personal choice here, question for all of those of you that have researched replacement stereo head units. What unit(s) did you find that:


1) Matches the silver trim color (almost perfect)
2) Doesn’t require some extra bezel/cover/frame- slide in place and has that OEM look.
3) Have the capability of Aux input
4) to be real picky- green display

Yes I know someone will tell me to stick to the factory model, its not bad, just not keen on the sound quality from my sat radio FM transmitter. Please post your best match make and model, pic always great.

JVC in mine... touch screen, silver surround just like the dash, colors of buttons and screen can be made any color in the spectrum, and a nice shade of green is stored already. with red button accents at night this unit looks just like it should be there. This model is discontinued i believe. JVC KD-LHX550 Oh, and it does have the aux input as well as Sirius capable. I don't much care for the touch screen, but it certainly looks the part, and works well. And i got the model from this board too.. thanks whomever you were.

don't forget the Scosche VW01 wiring harness (you get one free if you buy from sounddomain) and the Metra 40-EU10 antenna adapter (best buy, circuit city).
