Can a GXE guy post pictures of radio & trim??

I was told that 5th Gen GXEs have a different radio dash trim.

Can a GXE guy post a picture of it?


I would like to see it.


Thanks

Here's my setup....I have an SE, but this is the 2000 GXE trim piece with the "pocket" (with door) from a 99 Maxima....as stated above, get this stuff from Dave B....The deck is an Alpine CDA-9853...

(btw, I'm not going to talk about the LED stuff in this thread...so if anyone wants to know, look back a few days for the thread on the subject )

I beleive that is known as the "scosche" trim piece....though personally I prefer the GXE trim if only because it is color-matched to the rest of the dash....

It's not the GXE trim, but here's my setup...







It looks like the kit is a little off, but that was because I lost one of the screws that holds everything in, thats all.

I went ahead and bought the gxe kit after putting up with the ugliness of the american international kit for a year. I was wondering, how in the world does the radio attach itself to the mounting bars. Right now, my radio cage is attached to the AI kit, which is screwed into the mounting bars in the dash.

That's nice. That gap usually bothers the perfectionists on here, myself included.

I LOVE those Eclipse units, but I wouldn't want to deal with the gap. Stupid reason to not get one, I know, but the whole reason I liked the idea of the Eclipses was because they would fill the hole left by the stock Bose. If it doesn't do that or there isnt a kit to seal it up, I wouldn't be happy.
