Thumbs up Metra dash kit INSTALLED *with PICS*

The other thread is cluttered so here it is guys, the kit installed and some pics of the progress. I am not going into how to tear apart the dash or the wiring as that info can be found elsewhere......

Here is the ghetto install before pic (not done by me)




In the bag:




Once removed there is 2 side brackets and the main dash kit, attach the brackets to the side as shown (all instructions are in the kit)
side:



Front, The X is to keep it from breaking during install so leave it in place untill you are done!




Next take the climate control off the metal brackets and reinstall it into the new metra kit with the stock screws.






Final product installed!!






Overall its pretty easy to do as long as you know the wiring and how to remove things, i really like the look of it compared to the other options.
It fits well and is of course a quality piece made my metra, i would definitely recommend it!!!
