mines not a double DIN, thats the stock 1.5 din that came in the 99-01. mine had that pocket for the tape deck.
you molded the pocket on there? why?

Ooops! sorry. Looked like a double in the pic. I molded the pocket on to house the control head to my Neo Jukebox (hard drive based mp3 player)

id really appreciate it. either the dark charcoal or silver will work, color doesnt really matter. thanks. i might stop into my old work this wek as well to try and find one, but i dont expect them to be all that accomodating since i havent gone back to say "hi" in months.

haha no worries. if you compare the two in the first photo then youll notice that the radio hole was actually molded to the face of my alpine. that makes the other bezel SEEM to have a larger (2din) opening. :D
i just got sick of seeing it the way it is. im much happier with the results of my newest creation. i was going to put a screen in the bottom portion of the bezel, and angle it up, but i dotn think id get much if any use out of it. i decided that simpler is better for me.
i saw how you made this and i was just wondering if you were willing to make one for other ppl?
