Default Double D Mods' Combo kits

I recently purchased a kit from Dennis @ Double D Mods that included everything I will need to convert my stock stereo to a dbl din Nav/stereo.

I wanted to do this mod for a while, but lacked the patience and skill to fab a bezel & brackets. When I saw Dennis offered a full install kit, I jumped on it and it appears it will pay off

I purchased the kit with the Custom bezel (w/ash tray), Kenwood 5120, and install kit.

Dennis was great to deal with and delivered my kit sooner than I expected.

The kit arrived this week, and I am very impressed. The custom brackets are well made and the Bezel looks perfect. If it fits half as good as it looks, I will bet big money that a non-vette person will never know my new Nav/stereo set-up is not OEM...

I know there are a few places to purchase a bezel. While I've never seen products from the other vendors.... I don't see how they could make a better custom bezel than Dennis. His bezel looks that good!

Unfortunately I won't have the time to do the install for a couple of weeks... but I will post pictures when it's done.

I recommend a serious look at the Double D Mods combo kits if you are in the market...

Very Cool...

I was hoping to get a copy of your "how to" prior to tackling my install. I have a couple questions about the GPS mounting and your wiring trick to have full function when moving.

Glad to hear your happy with the quality. I'm waiting to get my bezel from Dennis. It's hard being patient but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Thanks again Bernie
Glad your happy that is the main focus of my doing this.

I am out of town till tomorrow in Vegas going to go hook up with another forum member today to check out a car we are building a bezel for but will have an 8" touchscreen monitor in place of the dd bezel


Thanks again and would respond more but I am just checking messages and PM's from everyone while on my blackberry


Will be looking forward to pics when I get home
