Did you read the entire thread? There is a custom made one, than there is the GXE kit installed with pics. There is also a link to where you can purchase the GXE part. No one is going to spoonfeed you info here so do some reading on your own.

You could, it probably won't look so hot. My goal was to make it look as OEM as possible so that is where the GXE kit came in handy. Just use the stock bolts of the BOSE HU to mount the new one. Snap the GXE vent in and you'll be all set. There might be a gap at the bottom like on my install, but that can be filled in with something.

Note: I did not do the majority of my installation myself, an .org member did and I just observed most of the time and this is the stuff I saw.

oh ok ic, thanks man, sorry bout before, what is the difference between the SE/GLE opening thing, and the GXE, I saw the huge opening the GXE one has, looks perfect, but is the SE one not big enough? or maybe cause it wont be as clean around the edges?

No problem bro. The biggest difference I saw was that the SE vent I took out did not have the trim at all, it was just the vent piece. The stock BOSE filled in the rest. You need to replace the trim by using the GXE vent which is all in one.
