Default Interior panel question

The panel over the radio is blocking some of the buttons is it from another corvette?

Looks like the radio is from another GM product, not a Vette, and the panel was hacked to fit it.

Not sure about the radio.. been a while since I had the stock unit in mine.. but the bezel looks like someone did a crap job of trying to make it a double din bezel. Did you just buy this car and it come like that?

The holes for the radio and AC on the left side should line up.. yours dont. Here is a picture of the stock bezel before modification..



Ahh.. and here is a picture of the stock head unit in the car (sorry.. no bezel around it because these are from my CarPC install)



Hope that helps some.. oh and you can get a new stock bezel from Gene at GM Parts House for around $130.

The radio is stock but the bezel is not. I'm not sure where that came from but it's clearly NOT a stock bezel. The openings for the Radio and the HVAC are supposed to be the same width and yours clearly are not.

The side panels are to thick. Get a new bezel for around $130. Under $100 used.
