I'll try it out with various popular double dins (pioneer, kenwood, etc) and take as many pictures as possible to show you guys what it looks like. We're getting a few coming in so when they do I'll do a full pre-sale post. Pricing will be around 30$ for it.




Let me know what you guys think!

i was just coming on to show people! you beat me

Wasnt saying it wasn't was just saying its the same style.

Although if it was really OEM, they should make an option of the dash trim thats a standard Double din size, not add gap fillers that try to match, but clearly are gap fillers.

Thats what I would pay for, anything that just fills gaps looks cheap imo

this is a great option vs the metra kit... companies need to keep doing this.. creating more options for our revolutionary car(s)!
