I've read many threads on it, but just wanted some opinions on how easy it really was. I have a 2002 silverado and got a double din radio. I'm gonna start working on it tomarrow and see what all i can get done.

tips or advice for a newb to dash mods?

 

take it slow. dont get in a hurry. if you have any doubts at all, stop and ask an experienced person.

I've got it apart now, tomarrow i will take the cage out so i can start cutting on it. Also gonna visit gm and see what a bezel from an 04 costs, I work for honda under the same company so i get employee prices.

any idea how to tell what color my dash is now? the actual name for the color?

nice avatar by the way, lol i work for honda, lol.

 

You don't want the color name, you want the color code - which is on the RPO list.

 

didnt need it anyway, i just went to a junk yard and got an 06 bezel and it matches almost perfectly with my graphite interior.


i got most of the stuff done today, got the cage out and cut the dumb steel bar out. Got the ac controls lowered down and lined up pretty good, just need to get the stereo lined up right with some wood brackets, finishh wiring and then run the mic to the headliner.

 

Can you help me with a double din install? Just bought Eclipse AVN5500....

 

can we get pics of this install because i would like to try the same setup.

 

You def have to remove a good bit under, in the dash. I was amazed at all the cutting i had to do LOL. After though, the 2 din went right in..
