what i did was took that gauge bezel out and took the metal cage that holds the radio made a outline of it on the bezel where i wanted it and used dremel tool to cut out. once i cut it out i put the bezel back on ( metal on dash wasnt cut yet) put a couple of screws in to hold it in place then outlind the dash where it needed to be cut. took the bezel back off. cut the metal top and bottom then fold the sides inward.. put the plastic bezel back on slid the metal cage in and bent the tabs around the metal to hold it in place. slide the radio in and put trim peice on. i had also painted the metal cage black so it isnt noticeable if it was.

u dont have to have a very neat of a cut on the gauge bezel because the radios trim peice should cover the edges.
