I bought it and opened the box and put it right back in the box and sold it. It looks cheap in my opinion. There is no ashtray door or cup holder lid and you have to grind out the bracket rivets and re position the radio and HVAC control panel lower for the installation. Not to mention the texture of the finish is completely different. Just my personal opinion though.

You will have to do this with any double din install regardless of who makes the bezel.
I went with the bezel from Vettenuts.
IMO a better design.
No need to reposition the HVAC controls.
The texture matches the OEM.
Has the same cup holder and cig door as OEM.

I’m happy with it.. as said, the texture and finish isn’t the same as oem, but I don’t care because it’s no longer an oem setup.. it’s more of a smooth plastic feel.. works just fine for me.. I never cared for the ashtray and cupholder doors anyways.. they just got in the way more than anything

Yep installed mine and wrapping it in carbon fiber this weekend.
I removed the cigarette lighter and put in a dual USB charger. Don't care about the door or the cup holder door.

Btw, I definitely spent some time adjusting the headunit & hvac to try to get it centered.. I’m quite positive that’s required no matter what setup ya choose though

To me, the difference between buying the bezel that's perfect, and the bezel isn't simply isn't significant enough to justify the savings. It's an awesome car, why put cheap stuff on it to save less than $100, especially when the only reason I'm modding is to make it better than stock.
People gonna save $100 here, then spend $150 on a nicer looking shift **** and boot to put in their cheap looking bezel. Makes no sense.
