Very nice. My bezel from Dennis shipped out yesterday. Can't wait to get it in. He is the best to work with. Would love to see some pics of the whole car and maybe a rundown of the system.

Depends on which model you go with. Mine had the flip down face (4200dvd) it had to be perfect, so that it did not rub and the counsel would still line up perfectly. It's well worth it in the end.

Very nice! It's one of my favorite mods and it really updates an aging dash/interior.

Nice unit...I like the volume ****...much easier to perform a change while driving. Now if we could only find a way to modernize the look of the god-awful AC unit!...that thing looks even more dated now sitting below that cool Kenwood.

the only thing that bugs me about the double din setup, which mind you I am doing next winter, is how dated it makes the temp controls look. I wish someone would come out with a way to flatten the buttons and make the face plate a little more modern, it doesn't match any of the radio setups except for the oem one.

That would be a good product for someone to make , a nice updated temp control unit that fits right in .
