Afraid to cut please help

So I finally got an oem dash clock for my ‘02 base. Problem is that what I assumed was a plug is actually part of my trim bezel should I just shelf it and look for the piece that the clock fits in or cut this one? I do have a dremel but I’m not very confident that I can cut it the right size and have it look factory.

 

So, if you don’t cut it.
You have to look for a trim piece.

If you cut it “wrong”.
You have to look for a trim piece.

Sounds like you have nothing to loose by trying…….
You can only gain by trying. Gain being you cut it right.

I’m cutting it…….

 

Good point so I’ll be cutting it then

 

would love to see pix of front/rear of this trim to help!!

 

Or... hear me out... you could live without a dash clock.

 

Not an option shiz driving me crazy cause my radio doesn’t have a clock either lol

 

i took my clock out for that V meter mod

gave the clock to another member

 

wait, wait, wait... you're trying to install the clock that as, you, the driver, cannot see while behind the wheel?

Have you tried a watch?

 

Time to visit www.crutchfield.com

 

While my alpine head unit does have the time displayed on it... it's still only right-ish 1/2 the year.

 

LOL
except for old people like me
no one wears watches these days.....usually have their face stuck to their phone screen

 

Just be on Hawaii time… you get there when you get there.

 

Idk... a watch can also be a phone screen.

 

UGH ^^^^

shows how 'connected' i am.

 

If the clock isn’t working there’s a thread on here somewhere that discusses resoldering a broken joint in the back of the clock. I did that and got my clock working again. Here’s the link to a YouTube video showing how
