Group Buy - True Double Din Radio Trim for Liftbacks (180mm opening)

I tried trimming all around the back of the trim piece. Trimmed all the way to the line on the surface where you can see where the plastic was "joined" together.

Still no go. This is the best pic. I could take of it.

It's like this on both sides:






I do plan on getting the new version of the P8000BT later this year. They've released new versions of most of their 2008 models already. Hopefully, they don't add the stupid faceplate on the new model.

I do still want another of these DD trim pieces Scott so keep me on the list.

If I understand correctly, you're trimming the lip of the trim piece to make it less deep? If that is the case, how close is it depth-wise from the trim piece being able to snap on? Also, if you were able to move the HU in deeper (by re-drilling the bracket mounting holes), would that help?

Yes, I thought that's what everyone was telling me to try in the previous posts in this thread. It doesn't look very nice though. You can see in the picture that the trimmed lip can be seen.

Not sure how close it is to being able to snap on. Didn't take that measurement. I don't think moving the HU in deeper would help. The problem is the attached ring / faceplate on the front of the HU.
