Default 1990 mustang questions - new guy

hey there, got my 1990 LX about 2 months back and its been a nice little car. for Christmas i got a complete audio upgrade package! wiring isnt really an issue since i just got done installing a system in my jeep a year ago but its getting to it. how do i take off the surrounding trim and get the head unit out?

also, i got some new windshield wipers and cant seem to figure out how those come off. i probably could figure it out if i had more time to look but its -10 degrees here haha

also, where would the best place to order shocks be?

thanks in advance!

for your shocks try rockauto.com or a local part store since it is a 4 cyl just go with regular factory style shocks. , if it is a factory headunit you will need the stupid little ford radio removers 3 bucks any part store, then ther will be 2 screws in the trim i belive, get a chilton manual it will show you exactly how its done.

The alternator is not going to be happy with an audio upgrade.
