I was going to make my own but found a good deal on a S5 surround and picked it up. Since i have a vert though it doesnt fit using the stock radio bracket. I can either find a used one or i was considering trimming the left side and making a new guage holder to fill the gaps. I was thinking of painting the surround anyway so its not too big a deal, any thoughts?

I have the matching rubber surround if you are interested for the shifter.

 

might.depends.on.how.this.goes.and.when.i.get.some .more.money

 

I.just.realized.that.in.the.pic.the.surround.looks .in.place.but.it.isnt.its.covering

the.radio.on.the.left.side.and.cant.be.put.all.the .way.in.place...Id.like.to.do.whats

quickest.considering.its.been.2.years.since.my.int erior.last.looked.complete.



Has.anyone.ever.painted.the.rubber.surround?

 

painted rubber surround looks like ****

 

well.guess.mine.will.look.like.****.then.i.already .started.trimming.it.to.fit

 

paint it a textured black, not red and it wont look bad



the ones I have seen were red and they looked terrible

 

Have you thought about going to Circ. City and seein if they have the inserts for it? I had to do it to mine(88 se), and still had to cut the stereo surround.

 

I would have gotten a s5 radio chassis rather then hacking the surround

Yeah.would.have.been.best.but.i.didnt.feel.like.se arching.for.one.and.wanted.this.done.quick.

Got.tired.of.staring.at.the.dash.so.long...And.the res.no.way.i.would.even.consider.painting.it.red!

That.would.be.hideous
