ZRE Aftermarket Fascia

[jps137]

Has anyone used one of the aftermarket fascia panels (like the one at the link below) for a double din installation?

Ebay Fascia

I am looking to upgrade the headunit to an aftermarket full screen model (I am a bit reluctant to drop the $3-$4k for a Toyota model) but I don't like the wings. I was wanting to know if anyone has had any success or otherwise (I have heard some of the ZZE were shockers) with the aftermarket panels for the ZRE. So far I have only been able to find them overseas on ebay and so can not get an idea on how well they fit and match for colour.

Where abouts do you live?

In my zre I used the surround that came with the headunit then another surround i had lying around and then modded the brackets so the unit sat back further in the dash so it uses the surround and not the wings.

The unit sits flush with the trim piece.

Thanks that does look like a tidier option than the wings

It's a Alpine 502 but i dont think they make them anymore the newer one is 520 i think has the built in nav and bluetooth where as my one has external boxes for nav and bluetooth.
