Gotta let us know how the fit is. Use your metal clips from the original bezel tho, I heard the metra clips suk.
Probably do it tomorrow or Thursday. I'll post results. Trying to manage time. Also have to finish the job I started on my Corvette. Only had it out once since spring. And have a car show the 21st and race event in November. IMG_20190723_145520.jpg

Installed the new Metra dash bezel today. very happy with ease of installation and fitment. couple notes, definitely good advise using OEM clips. on the rear there were some pins that the oem piece had rubber caps on that the Metra piece did not, I assume anti rattle, they were easy enough to transfer over. head unit brackets worked great. hardest part of the job was Removing OEM clips from stock bezel. not too bad just that was the hardest part. I am so happy I went this route over modding mine or the 03+ mod which looked like a pia. overall extremely happy. in the future I will hydro dip for coolness. although in my gray interior the matt black could pass for oem.

Well having an un rusty dent free truck didn't last long. taking my wife to Dr. Appointment on Tuesday a guy back out of his parking spot right into my rear lower quarter. frustrating as hell. still awaiting for him to return call to Geico. we both have Geico you would think it would be cut and dry. he was a Dr, so I'm sure all his stuff is good. they told me as soon as he returns their call they can send an adjuster to look at my truck but as of now he hasn't returned their call.
