Looks great. How did you do your benzil? It doesn't look like you moved the HVAC head unit down?

Was there enough room just removing the one plastic tee bat between the old radio and HVAC unit? Is this a double din? Thanks, Mark

How's the HU being held in place? Looks like you're exposing the otherwise hidden top plate of the A/C...I def. would like to see some extreme closeups of the top and bottom of the HU. Did you have to cut out any of the metal (brackets) behind the HU?
Looks good!

Do you have any pictures of the space behind the bezel before the install? I am getting ready to tackle putting my D3 and want to do the same type of install you did. Curious if I need to flip the radio plate over like in other posts.

Great looking set up ! Can't wait to get mine done now.

Install, I like the idea that there is no need to cut the bezel.
