Default C5 double din radio bezel modification

Does anyone sell an aftermarket bezel?
Or does anyone out there convert existing bezels to work with the double din in dash nav radio heads.
Thanks

C5 KIDD does an excellent job modifying the bezel like you want. Have seen a number of pics of his work and you can't tell it wasn't from the factory that way.

c5 KIDD is out of the DD bezel business plus he did a lot of members wrong.

We also do DD bezels and that all we specialize in Corvette Car Audio sale and installation. We don't dabble in other parts which gives us the freedom and time to build the highest quality Double Din Bezels. If you are local we also do Double Din Conversions on site.

We are in the process of having a killer web site build that will have a PDF doc with detailed instruction on how to do this conversion for the do it yourself guys. Placing orders will be a snap we are building up our inventory so there will be no wait when you place a order we will have lots of bezels in stock stay tuned we will be have a grand opening thread here soon.



Built to Last:

Our bezels are 85% more dense than the stock bezel as a result of our proprietary structural reinforcement designed into them. Stock bezel weights 1.4 lbs. Ours weigh in at 2.35 lbs.

Built to Perfection:

Our Bezels look great… plain and simple. Offered with a money back satisfaction guarantee for the purchase price, you can buy with confidence and without risk.

Built with Know-How:

We don’t only fabricate bezels but we also install them. This is very important because to build a proper bezel, installation considerations need to be factored into their construction to ensure perfect fit and trouble-free installation.


Because seeing is believing…

I really like the work of our supporting vendors and the options available.

When I first started looking into this mod two years ago, there were very limited options. Now you have at least two (perhaps more) very qualified supporting vendors that offer a wide variety of options and finishes.

I still haven't pulled the trigger on my mod yet because I have a couple other mods in front of the radio, however I'm glad to know there is such quality options available!

FYI.... I purchased a dbl din Kenwood kit from C5 Bearsfan. It was complete, well made, and Dennis' customer service is excellent!!

I highly recommend Dennis.........


Just an observation:
I know nothing of C5 Kidd, but he posted number two in this thread. I just find it funny that people who posted after him said he hasn't been heard of since June '08.............

OK.... I'm an idiot... I just noticed this thread was started in November of 2007....!!!

Dennis does good work and is a great asset to the Corvette comunitty were just another option for members.

Thanks for the kind words were constrate on quality not quanty! We would rather build two or three bezels a month that are perfict than 10 or more that need to be pushed out the door to fill the orders.

I also understand this is an old thread, but, as stated above, does anyone still sell an aftermarket bezel? Or does anyone out there convert existing bezels to work with the double din in dash nav radio heads (2000 C5)? Thinking of getting a Pioneer double din replacement.

Thanks,
Walter
