Stereo Install Kit Opinions
Has anyone found a kit that looks worth a crap? The kit I have in now has a texture that doesn't match the interior and is not the right shape to allow the center console to sit perfectly flush with the rest of the dash. Rather than cut on this thing and make it fit right, I would rather just replace it with one made for the vette that looks right and fits right. Anyone have an opinion?

I got the Scorche kit for free with the deck, but didn't care for it because there was too much of the "texture" you are talking about.
