Default 95 Double Din install.

Just put this in on friday sorry for the blurry pics was in a rush
install took alot longer then expected. Used one piece of 1/2inch mdf router it out and painted it. Still needs to get some texture paint that will match alot better.
heres the start

heres theh prep, wood routered out looking good.

and here is finished for now until i get a paint that matches better.

i dont believe any one make a dash kit for a double din to fit into the dash. The only kit the make is for just a din radio.

made it from scratch. Took factory radio apart. And transfered the shape of the radio onto a piece of 1/2 inch MDF with a router table. from there i just made the dbdl din opening and made some bracket to bolt on to the radio so the trim wont move. It took a long time because i had tried to do it with abs and the abs kept breaking.
