there was a post a while ago from someone that did it, aparently its a hard job if ur not a pro, its like 6 coats just to get the woodgrain look, let alone smoothing it and keeping the gloss look

i got a double did so does blackau, does stick out from the curved console about 7mm but u dont realy notice unless ur shown a pic or cleaning the carpet, only 1 persone has ever noticed mine

cheers

Hey its a nice looking unit, trust me wont be disapointed with double DIN, looks that much more classier then a stock single din unit in my opinion

Does this mean your old Premium Sound head unit could be for sale ? Does it still work fully ?
