    As far as now I couldn't find a way to fit it. And cutting it will make it very ugly.
    How about an after market dashboard that designed to be double din?
    Is there any?

    cut and reshape with bondo/fibreglass then paint with duplicolor GM trim paint.

    Its been done.

    Or pay some guy $200+ for one.

    I checked double d mods. It's 110 if u ship yours color is 200$ and that's before shipping costs. Which I think will be expensive cz the size. Takes 5 weeks (w/o a dash)


    To do by myself not gonna work. I won't take a risk. Besides to buy tools and paint will cost over a 100.

    Is there any website who ectually sells bazles already made double din and charge around a 100?

    Go to a junk yard and pick up a bezel for $10. Then practice. I picked up 2 dash bezels, a HUD unit with dash piece and controller, and an EGR with pedestal for $60 at a junk yard.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    Sand paper (various grits)
    JB Weld
    Then find your local SEM paint distributor and check out the color for your dash. I think it's still Graphite.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    i can add some cheap tips if you want.

    tools:
    bread knife 2$ or free
    sand paper. 5$

    now for the finish u can spray clear coating 8$ (like the one for the outside of the car) and itll make it look fresh.

    after this u can paint. but dont spray paint it white. trust me. maybe ill do mine shiny blue later. 6$

    total 21$
