Default Check out my clean HU install (SC300)

So I finally got around to installing my Panasonic CQ-C7401U and Infinity 4002i's front and rear. I spent awhile thinking about to fill the 1.5 DIN of space that would be left over, and instead of going with boring ABS plastic, I bought a Scosche (sp?) Soundkase 1DIN 4-cd-holder, and a Metra 1/2 DIN pocket. After alot of air grinding, drilling, and some ingenuity, I got everything bolted up and fitting perfectly flush in the dash with no gaps. Let me know what you guys think

Did you do anything with the volume power button? I know this was intergrated into the factory stereo.

Nah its just sitting there, it would be pretty tight to have it work along with the HU, but I had already put too much time into this and didnt feel like figuring out how to wire that up

Thanks for the compliments guys And for anybody lookin to do this, just be careful when shaping the ABS, one little slip can **** everything up
