Hi, don't suppose you have any pics of the dash (actually behind the dash) with the double din removed? Looking to do some dash work on mine and it would be nice to see whats behind there before I start hacing away

Thanks,
Mark

Glad you guys like the work - we are doing one with a Kenwood double din 7" unit later next month.

My own GPW s2000 will be going one step further as we intent to install an iPad horizontally in the dash area. It's a bit wide to fit so will take some creating out of the box thinking

read your first post too.
i read that you cut the vent.
does that mean you dont get any air to the passengers side vent?

how can you modify it instead of cutting it?

It seems the JDM cars are not the same as US-spec cars because the air inlets do not look the same, this is the one from an 05 s2000 (mine)

Cost is all relative ~ labor wise it took about 35-40 hours so you can do the math.

This is not a simple cut a hole in the dash and stick in the unit in there. A lot of custom brackets, unit specific shroud (based on what headunit you pick) and other things have to be considered.
