Installing Mahanians' Billet Aluminum Radio Plate
 

This is a pretty simple install, cause even I pulled it off. My one suggestion is to make sure the stereo goes in through the plate properly especially if you are getting a shop ( like I did ) to install the stereo. My dash was cut by the PO so this was a great solution for me. Jareds' instructions are very good the only thing I changed was I drilled ( with a tiny bit ) a guide hole through the template paper, then removed the template and drilled the holes to the right size.

Here is what I had when I removed the 90's C/D player when it croaked.

I taped the template over the hole.

Great job! Am I correct in assuming there are studs /bolts/screws attaching these plates?
Just curious, I'm going to do this as well.
Thanks!
