Default Aftermarket backplate question
Can't get the search to work...

I thought I bookmarked where I could get these back plates for aftermarket stereos but I guess I didn't. Any help?

Yea I got a Metra for like 20 bucks and it does the job. There isnt much to it but no skipping radio now. I actually seen a Scoche backing plate at walmart for like 12 bucks or something. it looks like the metra one for alot cheaper. You can also get the wiring harnes plug for like 7 bucks there. 20 at BEST BUY.
