New Style Double Din Dash Kit

I've been able to source a new style dash kit specifically made for the FRS/BRZ that instead of utilizing the Metra two piece dash kit that bolts to the iso mounts that look kinda.....eh. This new dash kit actually snaps into the radio surround and allows for a much cleaner look as it fills in the gap on the top and bottom. 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!

Mike

Can you ask the vendor to produce some real fiber carbon look to match the stock dash board ?

Not sure if carbon will be in the works, there will be one with rubberized coating to have a better oem look to it.

I'm interested in this as long as it sits flush with the factory dash piece and doesn't rattle.

I could be wrong, but that just looks like the same style as the 2 piece metra dash kit, painted silver to match the rest of the trim.
Which cost $10 (on amazon), not counting the paint

Photo is from Subaru website. Pretty sure it's OEM
