okay now im gettin fuckin frustrated, i bought a metra kit, and it did come with the trim plate. I was just gonna slip the deck through the front and attack the trim that comes with the stereo, BUTTT the stereo won't slip through the damn trim plate. Its too small!

So how do I get the deck installed onto it? Anyone got some pictures to help explain?

I WANNA PUT MY CAR BACK TOGETHER.

okay...i think it might be just this deck. i got it to fit, "kind of", the trim piece, I cant even use because the alpine deck is too big for it. Ill post pix and show u how it looks now. Its better than before and im just gonna put it back on my car and put all the pieces back because it's annoying drivin today like that.

Ill post pix tommorrow
