When installing a Head unit with a detachable face there is that trim ring that fits over the unit. When you have a dash kit installed (Like JT Italian Burlwood) the trim ring doesn't fit. I modified the trim ring to fit but it's pretty crappy.

I was just wondering if anyone else came across this problem and what they did

 

Get some black plexiglass or ABS plastic and make your own to fit your specific deck and dash kit. http://www.selectproducts.com has the raw materials.

 

Adam, how do you like your Viper alarm? I was thinking about getting one...

 

I will check it out. i see by your website you work for lockheed mating. do you know a guy named shai sabripour? I used to work with his wife in holmdel.

 

the viper is pretty nice all the standard features. plus, a very expandable system you can add on a lot of stuff. Installed it cost me $300

 

Cool, thanks

 

I don't recognize the name, but I've only been there a couple months. Do you know if he's with Management and Data Systems or what group he's in?

 

not sure. i know he's an engineer

 

Yup.. I just used a piece of clear Lexan I had from my amp rack.. tape over both sides of it, then cut a hole to fit the faceplate through..

when you're done with that, paint the BACKside of the plexi whatever color you want, and it'll look great!

there are pics on my website somewhere...
I'll post links later when I find them.
