yea double din fits fine, just need to fiberglass the ear holes and use a dremel and be good at working with bondo. I used to be an installer when i was younger.

And they grey is just too boring of a color to put something so bright and vibrant on the bezel.

ps if anyone wants a bezel made like that if you ship it to me i will do them for 150 bucks and paint it however you like.

Thanks for the pictures. I got impatient though before they were posted, and I went ahead and pulled the bezel out and painted it. I did however not paint the lower portion (left it black), so hopefully that will make a difference, which very slim chance it will. I will try to post some pics up of it placed in the truck. Thanks again.

I am hoping for a turn out kind of like this (except the handles on the door panels blue instead), even though the blue is lighter than I used. Personally, I like that.

Not too terrible with the baby blue and light beige leather to go with it. At least the tackiness is uniforn throughout. But I think if anyone does blue with the grey, it's gotta be a really dark blue.

tfray, I hope you like yours now that it's done already.

ballsout, I'm glad you posted yours because I think a lot of people were thinking of doing something like that, myself included. I have a woodgrain now, and I might stick with it. It's dark and reddish so it's not too offensive.

Well she is in now. I think I will keep it and eventually pull out all the gray trim along with the dash and paint it black. I think the black and blue look will look good, mostly because I have always wanted a vehicle with some sort of blue interior because it kind of lightens my lol.

yea i as some others also thought it would look good body colored but the second i saw it i knew it was a mistake. Im either going to do it matte black or dark grey when it gets warm enough.
