The joying 8.8 1.5 din can fit behind the factory bezel to save some big bucks.

^ my current bezel is available now at vettenuts

https://vettenuts.net/vettenuts-97-0...-free-shipping

My former black and tan leather bezel is from DDMods who went belly up and ripped off a lot of people.

That bezel is stored up in the attic.

I threw in a Joying unit. Was skeptical as I've always used Pioneer or Kenwood in past installs. I bought a cheap Amazon bezel and covered it in leather to match the dash top. I must say I am impressed with the Joying unit. So many more features than the brand name units. My only complaint is the rca output vtage is only 2v. But with a good amp it still performs very well.

So we must get a $300 bezel to make a double din unit fit?
