    I think you where right, they definitely only sent the bezel for the bigger cutout

    Definitely much better quality, and I guess I didn't realize that I needed a different size bezel since Crutchfield just sent the kit for the big cutout. Metra was smart selling both sizes in one kit.


    Did just this after Installing the new kit, nice and flush now, good advice.

    Looks good! I definitely think it's the best of the bunch although they could have made the radio cutout slightly smaller. At least on mine, it was a pain in the ass to line it up or there was a visible gap on the top or bottom.

    Love that you have WMMR up on the screen. I grew up in NJ, still listen to 93.3 some days through my radio app.

    Yeah man, Preston and Steve in the morning is my go to morning radio show. I travel all over the east coast for work and will listen thru the app if I'm too far out.

    You can throw some washers on the bolts to raise the radio out a little to get it sitting more flush to the trim
