so 6LE decided to push his product in the middle of someone elses thread. i just thought that was sad that he said he could have gone to the sponsers private forum and basically tattled on this guy for other people asking him to make them a part, instead of buying the **** 6LE pays oh so much money to advertise.


sorry if "hollywood" got offended, but suck it up.

Is it me or is the opening not centered? But it still looks good.

Man, you apparently need to learn how to spell AND how to read. I never said anything about the OP breaking the rules in the first post. It wasn't until people bashed me for doing what I PAY to do AND WHAT THIS SITE IS SETUP FOR that I played that card.

You just like running your mouth off apparently about stuff you have no clue over. Sponsors have a tool that AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFIES US ON HERE when people mention our brand OR PRODUCTS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SELL SO WE CAN COME IN AND DO WHAT WE PAY TO DO.

I have never seen someone get so butt hurt over something so retarded that HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. I'm sorry if you just have some crush on me that can never be fulfilled but there's always masturbation... Regardless, you need to get this out of your system somewhere besides this poor guy's thread...

looks great, i want to do this. do you have to make some sort of bracket on the inside or will the unit just bolt up to those two bolt holes like a regular unit does?

You have to make your own brackets to attach the new radio to the factory location.

I thought the same thing, when I made it I took measurements like five times and it was centered. But then I would step back and look at it installed and it looked slightly off, so I grabbed the tape again and it was spaced equally on both sides.

Looks centered to me. I think the lack of symmetry in the head unit and the angle of the pictures of the bare bezel are what make it have the illusion of being off...
