No, unfortunately. You'll have to get a flip out. I was just looking into the same thing.

Actually a Double Din WILL fit but requires either Modifying your bezel or buying one from a company like DoubleDMods.

My guess would be a turbo/s will be gracing that motor soon. Just guessing because of the pic with the FPR on the firewall.

Just got the TMS 370 installed and fired it up for the first time, she sat there and idled perfect running almost 80 lbs of oil pressure, no leaks, no smoking, no problems so far and it sounds mean, special thanks to Bruce at Hawks for the base/break in tune, very good job. Now to take it easy for 500 miles and get it broke in then take it down to Hawks for the final tune, all in all i couldn't be happier, seems to be a quality engine and so far it sounds stout!

Swapped out the MAP sensor that I believe was causing the engine to miss alot recently. Also found out that the LTFT are riding around +22 on both banks so the system is just dumping fuel at cruise.

I got it detailed... it was really needing it.

Attachment 725745

Edit... I accidentally deleted the previous pic... so here's a couple more.

Oh, and if you watch Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" video, you'll see this location at about 25 seconds in.

Finished the LQ4 teardown to just the block. Now to begin saving for all the expensive parts that's going to go back into it. Also received some BTR SLR lifter for the build today to start off the pile.

C6 ZO6 Deep Dish. Got them on and finally got a weekend to clean up the TA. Whole experience with OE Wheels was top notch. 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back. Need to do something with the center caps though...

















I am going to follow the advice of crimson_bird and get some spacers on all four corners and roll the fenders so when I am up for new tires I can cram some 305 back there.
