Need A Dash Kit..?!? Do I Need a Custom One..?

I have the OEM Navi and I recently installed a Clarion 7" In-Dash motorized Tv.. The problem is the metra dash kit I got has a pocket at the bottom and when the tv flips out it covers the Navi and the Climate Control.. Where can I get a custom dash kit or one like the pic below.. Thanks..!

*I'll post pics of the install shortly..

Your only choice is having it customized.

I don't know if it fits the CL (..it should, dunno why it shouldn't) but the Metra Kit (Purchase it at Circuit City) makes a deck kit for our TLs. You may need to sand it down a bit to get it a closer matching color to our other dash pieces..

I think the Metra kit doesn't put the unit low enough....so when the screen is open, you don't wanna cover the Navi screen. Any decent audio shop can do it. Mine is custom and they charged me $125....but that was a year and a half ago.

Yea your best bet is have streeteffects make you one. When i had my 01 cl-p i had tweeter make me a custom dash. I would refer you away from them, since i havent been happy with any of the work they've done, especially the dash kit. Go somewhere that does just car audio, not a store like tweeter or best buy that have all electronics plus car audio. Just my

Street Effectz can make you one and send it to you, then have someone install it close to you.
