Re: Firebird reddish head unit
I took the faceplate off mine (a newer Delco unit) and colored the back side red so the buttons would show red at night. You looking for something like this?

Re: Firebird reddish head unit
I have one that's almost perfect. It's an Aiwa. The color is actually called amber.

Re: Firebird reddish head unit
This is the menu selectable "Amber". I can make a totally custom color to dial in whatever color I want though.

My Alpine 1.5DIN D857 has an amber setting that perfectly matches the rest of the interior ambiance. Wish i had a pic of it. Best looking deck ive ever seen i Firebird handsdown.
