Default Alpine 9886 installed

Alpine 9886 HU installed the other day by mobile Werks in NJ.The install went well and everything works well. Ipod and satilte as well.The only thing that I am not compleatly satisfied with is the way the unit is mounted.The HU is not flush with the climate control and sticks out more than the climate control.I think they used mounting kit #99-4000 from installer.com. Although that is the kit that was for a 2003 Vette.Is there another kit I could use to make the HU sit deeper into the dash?

99-3300 is what i use all the time, generally speaking u have to bend back or cut out the metal tab in the back of the dash to get a radio in flush this is no big deal and has no effect on going back to stock stereo

I have the 9887. You'll have to bend the metal tab behind the radio back.

I plan to upgrade to an Alpine unit shortly.. but does anyone else make a better bracket? That one looks so plain with a lot of empty space arount it.. Even if they made one with a little useless storage compartment underneath.. it would at least make the dash space look a bit more interesting..

I love Alpine units.. I wish they still made a 1.5 DIN
