Trekkie, keep in touch on your custom install in the TT -- I'm keeping my stock Bose setup for now, but am interested in a possible upgrade for the future. One thing that concerns me at this point is the faceplate colour; the red actually appears a little orangish, not the deep blood red of the TT dash lights. Are you seeing this as well? My empeg isn't in the car yet, so who knows how it will look when it's in.
