Am I the only person who think that looks like Crap?

I don't give a damn what it looks like, but it is classier than the retarded 1DIN units from Best Buy with rainbow cycling lights and tiny buttons.

Idk..... chopping the Crap out of the surround and making something kinda fit doesn't go over in my book. The lines look like Crap. I like my black and green kenwood with blue tooth and such. Looks clean and works 100x better that any factory deck.

Plus aux cables sound like Crap.

Crap hasn't been a proper noun in like a hundred years. Fix your autocorrect.

If you modified the dash plate to not LOOK like you cut a hole big enough to fit a larger-than-factory deck, it would probably be alright. I'm with Ross though, to me it's always been kind of an annoyance having a 1.5 DIN deck that's flush-mounted to everything and fits like a glove and the getting an adapter that basically fits a rectangular peg into a rounded-off corner hole... and then it's not even flush with the dash - every one of them I've seen sticks out like a 1/4".

I'd be interested to see what you're workin' on.

The 1/4" plastic bubble was a big problem in my Camaro til I came across this beauty.
