Most of those are done by multiple companies. Like having the bezel done by Double D mods and then having it sent to Apsis or something for leather wrapping.

Now we modify the double din by ourselves in house and then we wrap the leather in house too. Just post a new thread for our Main Dash & Double Din Center Console in ebony nappa w/yellow stitching. Please go check it out.

on a double din bezel with leather

the first thing you need to do is pic a radio. If you want a radio with a full screen you can not use a full wrap bezel and keep the ash tray without running into problems.
The bezel is needed to be made larger on all four sides to allow for the extra room. This causes issues with the space needed for fitment and to allow the radio to open out fully. The leather wrapped around it takes up more space and you will not get sharp squared corners. This is important on the full face screens as they fold out and down to allow access to the cd insert behind the screen.
If you want to keep the ash tray you would be better off with a half wrap.

If you go no ash tray we can allow the extra room you would need to make sure the radio would fit and open correctly.

The full wrapped bezels will also have seems across the bottom as they need to be pieced in order to wrap them.


My favorite look is the hydro carbon and half wrap. The leather look is still there and you get the hydro center. We can do these in any finish you want in the middle.


here is some pics of bezels with leather on them i have sent out

give me a call and we can discuss this project for you

Without a doubt, use Double D Mods. Dennis does outstanding work, has excellent customer service and is honest and fair priced.
Better get to him quick...I'm trying to get him to move to NY!!!

Thanks Jeff Your NY is killing me man

Yes we know exactly what is needed as we actually install these and know what works best having put the time and effort into them and not just copy a design. This is why a bezel with ash tray in a full wrap will not be your best answer to a full wrap double din bezel.

Default Great Quality & Service

Dennis has done the work in both of my C-5's. The picture of the Shale interior with the double gauges was the first. Liked the quality of his work and service so much that he has just finished one for my other C-5.
His quality and customer service just can't be beat.
