Re: black plastic radio plate???
What do you mean by radio plate, radio delete plate? If so, do you want something that looks like the factory part? If not, why not make something. It's just a flat rectangle, unless you want the ridge as factory.

Re: black plastic radio plate???
no not a delete plate.
since my dash is already cut up from the PO installing a CD player and not doing the best job at cutting evenly his piece would sit under the faceplate of the cd player and cover a good portion of the indent for the radio on the dash. |

Re: black plastic radio plate???
its a plate that better covers the factory radio holes when you have a cut dash. its actually a nice billitt radio mount plate

Re: black plastic radio plate???
I made this one the other nite for my kids truck.
Just a black piece of plastic who knows what from(scrap material I had laying around). His radio hole looks like it was cutout with a p 38. A lil' time with a router and sand paper an it should work just fine. All in a effort to redo his bogus wiring Both pics are terrible

Re: black plastic radio plate???
If ya make one be careful the genius that cut his dash didn't make the hole center if you look at my plate it's off set to one side. Would be real easy to end up making a second because
Of this. The stuff I used is either some kinda plexiglass or acrilc sheet. I would bet that black formica or Laminte would work good also.
