Made of very thin plastic. Other brands are better.

The sides of the frame were very thin plastic and arrived broken. In order not to waste time sending it back, I bought another brand with thicker plastic.

Pros
  • Country of origin USA
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Does the trick when installing AV equipment in a car

There are some very small pins on the outer edge of the bezel that will snap instantly, but as long as your receiver comes with your own you'll be great. Also, I would definitely buy it again if needed for another car. It wasn't a problem.

Pros
  • Factory fitted
Cons
  • Only available in black

Fits well but does not come with everything pictured.

. It doesn't fit perfectly, but overall I'm happy with the look. However the picture shows 4 different parts and I only have 2: the main frame with shelf and trim around the stereo (front and back in the photo). Luckily the two pieces I received were the only ones I needed, but if you want the middle two pieces they aren't included.

Pros
  • Instructions and hardware included.
Cons
  • . I really don't like it, everything is fine.

Not recommended for hobbyist installers

I ordered one of these to fit a new stereo in a Ford Focus but it also included grommets for the Mercury Cougar - grommets that are 'flush cut' " must be " ." before you can use it with the Focus. I've tried all kinds of knives and utility knives but couldn't cut through the extremely thick plastic tabs that aren't easily accessible with just a small cutting tool. The plastic eventually collapsed at the weakest point. Now I have to decide whether to try sticking this one back in place - and…

Pros
  • Best material for good fit and durability
Cons
  • Nothing here

Does the job well for car electronics Accessories

There are a couple of very small pins on the outer edge of the bezel that will snap off immediately, but as long as your receiver comes with its own you should be fine. Also, I would definitely buy it again if needed for another car. It wasn't a problem.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Requires Socket

I ordered one of these to fit a new stereo in a Ford Focus, but it also included grommets for the Mercury Cougar - grommets that need to be "flush cut" before you can use them with the Focus. I've tried all kinds of knives and utility knives but have been able to cut through the extremely thick plastic ribs that aren't easily accessible with just a small cutting tool. As a result, the plastic broke at the weakest point. Now I have to decide whether to try sticking this one back in place - and…

Pros
  • Car audio and video installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
