Default Head Unit Really Sticks Out(help)!!!!

Does anyone know of a trim kit i can buy to not allow my new head unit to stick out so far? I trimmed the metal piece in the back to allow it to slide past there but i need a nice kit to mount it now. I bought a Kenwood EZ500 and i really like it i just hate the extra 1/2" that it sticks out. Can someone please help me!!!!

Default Humount

I really like the looks of the humount and think its a cool piece. Anybody have a pic of the trans am with the pontiac logo that they sell or do they have one that just says trans am? Or does anyone have some neat custom ones? Thanks for the replies at least i know there is an answer to this small problem.
