Can you somehow fit double din in 97-03 gp?

**raverockstar** · 02-06-2013

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?

**matt5112** · 02-06-2013

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

Its been done.

Or pay some guy $200+ for one.

It can be done. This was done by doube d mods

**raverockstar** · 02-06-2013

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?

it can be done.. just takes time and effort..

**KeithGTP03** · 02-07-2013

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.

**raverockstar** · 02-07-2013

so what tools do i need to buy and where usually?

**BillBoost37** · 02-07-2013

Dremel
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.

did i do it good?
i bought this bezel from a junk yard for 25 bucks.
and i cut it with a bread knife and buffed it.
Attachment 10840
since i don't have the unit yet i hope you guys can tell me if i did it right.

**mofford12** · 02-08-2013

No there both the same.. the only thing maybe different is the climate control center and the DIC... but the bezels are the same.. what year is your car?

**lilmidge12** · 02-09-2013

lol so who would want to do mine and i can send it to them and pay them? not double d mods because i already tried them

**raverockstar** · 02-09-2013

I pained it white. That's a no!!!

**lilmidge12** · 02-10-2013

**dpzelenak** · 02-10-2013

making a "how to" thread to add to the collection?

**raverockstar** · 02-10-2013

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$
