Default installing double din ? dash cutters help

i have the jdm bezel, and i have read threw and seen all the installs. iIknow it is custom using the bezel and cutting the dash. But how or what is being used to brace the headunit to the dash for the double din?

Im almost certain that the JDM bezel isnt compatible with double din HUs. I dont think that its big enough. I could be mistaken, but I dont think so. Also, the JDM unit is angled, and I dont think that will make it easy for mounting.

It won't work - it's not as easy as it seems - the JDM bezel is only for a LCD screen ONLY! At least not without cutting and modifying it......

The fitment on the JDM bezels is less then perfect. You have to customize that piece just to make it fit right and then you have to fill in the 1/4 inch gaps your going to have along the edges... then in the end its tilled toward the passenger a bit.
Not to mention that I don't think a regular DD HU will fit into the bezel so your have to cut the up just to try and make it fit.

Anybody know of a good dash cutter in NJ, PA or MD? I'd like to go with a double din as well.
