the best way takes time and patience along with a steady hand...
i have two din sized units in my dash and what i did was to iso mount-used the factory brackets to mount the units minus thier trim bezels...then i took abs and trimmed it to fit around the two units...mine is snug enough it stays just from the pressure fit but you may need a couple drops of glue...i will take mine out of my dash scan it and email it to anyone who wants it...warning though it will take a few days for me to do that...i'm computer dumb so a friend will have to do it for me...does anyone know if it would actually keep the right shape doing this??

Hey Staackman,

If you could please also send me some details of the scan when you get time.

At the moment I have an Alpine IVA-C800R in a Metra Type kit.But I hope to be getting the Alpine in dash DVD in the next few weeks.I've been thinking of doing a custom install ie getting rid of the Din-Sleeve and the plastic trim surround and using the Jap style brackets instead with a custom trim front panel.

Any tips or photo's would be great.

Thanks

Steve
