hey guys. i did an installation a couple of weeks ago that required cutting my dash to fit a double din dvd player around the area where the cd changer/cassette player were, and i'm really not happy with the outcome of it. i'm looking to buy a new front plate/dash kit/whatever it's called, and see if i can have my stepfather try to cut it in a better way. it's for an 06 sl so the metra kit does not match (reason why we cut the oem in the first place). i dont care if its from a wrecked car, or from a new one. the cheaper the better, but it must be in brand-new condition...

any ideas/places i could look for that in? what's the proper name to start searching by? thanks!

 

Funny enough, I have had to price one also recently. A windshield company botched mine. From the stealership, your looking at $617.00, give or take a bit because of locations.

WHAT?! how the hell can they even think of charging me $600 for a freaking piece of plastic?!
are we talking the same thing here man?
this is what i'm talking about, but the oem one

 

wow swee, are u sure the dealer wants 600$ for the radio bezel?! that price is f$@ckin absurd!

 

that's crazy, you can pick that up alot cheaper maybe even at a junk yard. I still have mine hanging in my carage since I went with an aftermarket one when I installed my HU. I think I paid something like $18.00 for it

 

well i might not need it anymore. at least not for now. we put a trim around the dvd player that has a thin chrome line, then faux-leather in black and then another thin chrome line. it goes well with that car, hides the ugly cutting underneath and makes the dvd player look like it has a frame to it. pretty cool and only cost me $12.98 for the piece of trim at the autopart...
it's staying like that for now at least

 

lets see some pics maybe those of us who have made this switch can help you out.

 

alright i'll try to take a pic tomorrow when its light. i wont get home till night time today so i wont be able to do it. but i'll try, maybe with my cell. anyways, i'll post back...
