Default Double DIN for early C4

Would anybody be interested in a factory-looking bezel to adapt double DIN radios to the dash of early C4s ?
The old 1.5 Din are beginning to suck and single din looks like crap.
Here's a picture of the project with a Kenwood DPX300U non motorized face.

Great idea! That was going to be a big problem when I had my 84 and was an important consideration in selling it.

The problem is that apparently the cost to modify is not very inviting,but the frame being more expensive than the radio is also bizarre
