Check this one out. Its $90 cheaper and it looks nice in my truck. If you would rather have it OEM color, it's paintable.

i think thats the same one i got off ebay. i remember the automatic audio "hello, this is bob"

mine was 130ish with shipping.

i didn't stick mine down with the glue because its pretty close to being where it needs to be. and its a tight squeeze behind the bezel without a little sanding. you will have to put some of the original dash along the front so the cover won't sit too deep.

Sorry. No picture today. It's been a miserable, cold and rainy day today. Hopefully things will clear up tomorrow.

Those are overlays.

thanks, thats not bad concidering all the crap thats out there over 400 not guarenteed to fit. Mine's cracked to hell and after I put in a new head unit, dash speakers and new door speakers I figured I would just throw the cracked stuff or break it to get it off whichever works better.

That's very tempting. Anyone know if there are any install instructions/details/pictures?? I would hate to get it and not be able to install it.
