    Here are a few more pics for 96vscommodore, I have put in my new spacer which was painted the other day. the colour was custom made to suit the dash colour but there is no clips on it so i have to pull it back out and make some or try to tie it to the shell someware.

    I have now secured the spacer to the factory bracket, I had to make some brackets to hold it on to place. Took a while but now it does`t jump on my lap every time i plant it.

    I fitted a Kenwood double din unit with MP3 and USB, I'll post a pic when I get one for you...pretty straight forward job using a $29 double din surround and a kenwood to ISO wiring adaptor for about $15.

    Also installed a relatively inexpensive bass tube with integral amp...not quite ass kicking...but the kids still get an acoustic massage in the back seat if I'm not careful...lol

    The surround facia was bought through a locall installer but the wholesaler is DNA Designer Audio - Car Audio & Accessories: dare to compare . . ., not sure if they retail..

    Anyone know the paint code for the plastic?

    i saw one on ebay that matched up perfectly and looked like it was made by GM, but they wanted around $80 plus postage. looked worth it though

    Default Current System

    Installed this system about 3 years ago. The screen tilts out and forward to load a new DVD or CD then returns to the position shown.
