c5 dd conversion started.......
Wow all I have to say for those of that have done this yourself and drilled out the cage rivets>>??? wtf did you use? My rivets wouldnt even scratch with the drill, They also ate through a good saws all blade, I wound up cutting the actual mounts out with the saws all. I give anyone props that got it out any other way. So far I have most opf the wiring done to the amps, 1 side door is completed with new components, mounts etc, Im about to go out to the garage and try to finish the rest...Ill post up some pics when im done..

keep up the good work, honestly saw zall is far easier then drilling no questions asked. And you can slap the oem radio back in without the mount its just a brace for the back of the radio really not needed at all

Ok after 2 days the dd project is done, I did new polk/momo components in the doors with dynamat, pioneer avic in the dash, alpine rear speakers, a sony explode 12 with dual coils, precision power 50x4 rms for the int speakers and an Mtx thunder amp bridged to the 12". Double din bezel came from dennis with a quick respray to even out some damage in shipping.(c5 bears fan was great in dealing with any problems).....I have to post up some pics now..

awesome////....... Looks pretty bad *** I do have a slight gap on the pass side now that I took another look, I think it depends alot on how the bezel orig came before it was modified.

its not the bezel necessarily alot of cars have this even stock. there is a bolt u can loosen and push the dash tighter then lock it down. then when u put bezel in push it over tight before tightening the bolts down u can usually get it all lined up then
