Aftermarket Nav/Double Din to look stock

jerney · 06-25-2012, 01:50 PM

Im looking into getting a 7 inch touchscreen, the jvc kw-av70bt. I was wondering if anyone has review or pics of in installed in a FA5 or FG2. Ive been doing alot of research on 8th gen and its pretty hard to make an aftermarket nav or touchscreen look stock. The scosche or metra kits seem to make the screen stick out and leave quite a large gap around it. I was wondering if anyone has learned how to solve this problem. I figure with a larger 7 inch screen the gap wont be as bad. Im also looking into getting the OEM Nav Dash piece as the color matches best. If anyone has any tips or tricks on how to make the screen look flush or clean please let me know. Im assuming a custom bezel around the screen is a common fix. Thank you

I have a pioneer avhP4200 w oem dash kit and scosche trim ring and it looks great. Started w scoshe dash kit but that looks horrible. fyi if you get the oem kit the brackets are seperate from the kit and are necesssary for install. GL .
