Well, as far as I know, there are only two. The best ones come from Metra. There is the standard one that makes the HU stick out about 1/4 inch from where the stock faceplate is. Then, there is the flush mount one that keeps it recessed like the stock HU. I prefer the flush mount, but it is a VERY tight fit with the recessed flush mount kit because aftermarket stereos are longer than stock. If you want the standard just go to your local shop and ask for a Firebird\Camaro kit. If you want the flush mount, then you'll probably have to do a search for the number. Be careful, the Camaro one is slightly different than the Firebird one, so i've heard, but I know one of them is Metra 99-3009.

I made my own from a piece of 1/8" aluminum... cut it out as I needed and polished it up on the buffer... turned out pretty sweet if I may say so... I think there are some pics in the red website button below.

Actually I've since removed it and it is now sitting on one of my shelves... if I were to make another one I'd change it in a couple ways, and probably make a molded version...

and thanks...

I've got some really crazy stuff I'm working on now

2nd gen LED tails, Quad Bi-Xenon HID Lazy-eye headlights, Custom Valve-covers with a little extra feature, and some other custom interior parts...

I'm going to make up a CNC program up for the HU mount and possibly sell a few next spring...
