Default Ugly gap in dashboard with aftermarket radio.

Look at my dashboard, where the aftermarket radio sits. You see the ugly gap? Is there a fix for it?

Yeah, there should be some sort of kit that goes around the radio to cover that up. Did you do it yourself, or did someone install it for you?

you might need to make a custom trim for it...its pretty easy..just buy a piece of ABS plastic or even a thin piece of flexyglass and cut it to fit.

I believe Metra makes a dash kit (it's more of a trim kit) for your application if memory serves me correct.
