Where is the trim ring? No offense but that looks terrible with the Din cage exposed. if it doesnt fit and you dont want to mod it just take a black sharpie and hit the din cage first. Sounds retarded but would make it look a shit load better if you cant make the trim ring fit. Maybe thats what crutchfield meant when they said it wouldn't fit?

Ya the trim ring wont fit, never does in these cars.

I got a black pain pen I intend to use, but I gotta find it first :)

I had the same issue with every radio in the car, even the McIntosh. I couldnt install the little end clips.

Try nipping them off and then putting on tiny strips of velcro. There has to be a way.

The plastic trim of the car almost contacts the cage as is. When I installed the McIntosh I did trim some plastic away. Theres is NO WAY the trim ring will work unless I heavily cut away at the stock trim.

Hit up the salvage yard and find an extra piece to mod...

What are you getting next?

Can I borrow some money? I want another McIntosh...

Im not sure.

My old radio was acting up so I just replaced it instead of trying to fix it. I may try to just fix it... I think the detachable face contacts need cleaned and a new wiring harness.

Failing that Im not sure. I have a very limited budget.
