Dash Kits Metra Double Din

cochino12 · Apr 26, 2016

sorry these pictures are really not good, I just couldnt get lighting right no matter where I moved the truck haha I got the gap around the radio pretty dialed in except the top has a slightly smaller gap than the bottom. I really wish I could have used the clips from the factory bezel because the clips included in the kit arent nearly as strong. Overall I'm pleased but I wasnt expecting much from a "kit" I anyone wants better pictures I'll find my camera and snap some better pictures instead of using my phone.

Mine says it will be in tomorrow now, I can't wait. Even though the fit isn't perfect, it looks a lot better than the bondo scratches and an uneven face that a lot out there get hacking up a bezel and building mounts.

Looks good from what i can see :lol:

If you can get some more pictures I would enjoy seeing them, did they make you cut the dash up or anything? What about the dash pocket? Lowered the HVAC controls?

That pdf i linked on page 4 said you had to remove the rear radio support and i think that was all it showed.

the mounting studs for the heater controls need to be cut off so the control can be relocated about 1/4" lower. I had to remove a lot of material from below and behind the radio to get everything to fit. Really not a big deal. I used a small air/body saw which was perfect.

I installed mine last night and today. I did paint my vents and cupholder but think if i can find the right color tan i may put it back like the factory colors. Here is all i cut out.

I will admit the radio was a little tight but snapped in after this. I did break the tab off the heater controls and they were a tight squeeze under the radio. There is a template to drill some holes but they fit tight enough i didn't even put the screws in.

Here is the radio installed, as the cochino had alignment problems, i had the same. A little bit more gap on top and right than the left and bottom. To me though, it was plenty good enough and i am not going to bother trying to get it any better.

I paid 180 for mine delivered. The kit comes with everything you need except a dremel tool.

Here is a much better deal.

How would you say the overall fit of the piece compared to the original is?
