Thanks for the feedback everyone! My dad was nice enough to install a back up camera yesterday for me too. Won't get to try it out for a few days though, just had a major surgery so I can't drive for a week.

Ohhh no I wasn't even aware of that. I haven't received anything in the mail, probably since the title was just switched over. Thanks for the heads up!

I have never seen this trick with the faceplate before. I would enjoy if you would started a thread about this topic or tell us more. How did you get it off of the old unit AND how do you fix it so that it stays in position - velcro, or what ?
I usually don't care for most of the aftermarket wheels but yours look fantastic. I have seen this model in gun metal but I much prefer the silver you have.
Also, note the optional ABS brakes which I don't see that often in the Vibes.
Heh, the old stock face plate fits over it only because the new head unit didn't quite fit in perfectly, even with the conversion kit, so there's a small gap to the left and below the unit. So I took the faceplate off the old head unit, glued on all the buttons, and snapped off all the plastic except for the parts that would fit into the gap. The gap is masked with some black electrical tape that moves out of the way when I put the old faceplate on. I'd imagine that you could maybe get some mounting putty to keep it in place otherwise.
And thanks for pointing out the ABS brakes, I didn't even notice! Which reminds me I still need to decode all the RPO codes in the glove and figure out what other goodies I might've missed haha.
