1 DIN Head Unit Question

[96eclipsegst]

I just installed a Panasonic head unit and now I have a whole nother DIN underneath it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to purchase either a plate or inlet to put in that spot.

dash kit...go to BB or advanced auto parts. it's a plastic piece that fills that hole in...gives it a "custom" () look.

Can I get a URL?

no, you have to actually "go" there. you know...Best Buy & Advanced Auto Parts, i'm sure you have these stores locally...

Around here we have a chain called Tweeter. They sell the (cheap) Metro install kits. The brace for holding the stereo has a filled in section underneath to attempt to make it look better. It fails but it has one GREAT advantage. It's two pieces, a frame and a cover. The hole HAPPENS to be 1/2din height and a din wide. It fits a lot of the smaller electronic boxes we tend to put in perfectly. If you look at my gallery you will find a pic of my center console and it shows what I'm talking about. I love it. Good luck.

Also, the "boxes" can mount perfectly flush and look good, but with all the times I've pulled the center console off to do more work I didn't want to mount them permanently yet.

I put an EQ in that spot and made a custom trim panel out of fiberglass to match up to the sides of the HU and EQ rather than having any space around them. I took the stock piece and fiberglassed it so that it would match up with the sides of the units perfectly.

I have an EQ in there as well. Looks nice.
