Flush mount Head Unit
Has anyone ever flush mounted their headunit so it is even with the dash? I really hate how it sticks out now, not to mention it occasionally gets in the way when I shift.
Any information or install guides would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just make a new face plate. I just made a new one last night out of plexiglass, I'm going to finish it up with paint and some vents. I raised the hole up so it clears that little plastic tab in the dash. It's not hard to make one.

They make flush kits, but depending on how deep your reciever is, you may end up using the 1/2 inch attachment. In the opening, there is a plastic tab that blocks the HU from reaching all the way in. IF that's the case, a new one is not hard to make. I'm just having trouble making mine connect . Hopefully some hot glue will do the trick

i just flush mounted my headunit in my 88 camaro. i used a ford K630 (i think??) kit. i broke off all of the mounting tabs and used the gm brackets and drilled holes in the ford kit and mounted the gm brackets on that kit. i dont know about the 4th gens but in my car you cant flush mount it unless you cut out the heating vents that come out of the side of the console because there wont be enough room to fit the head unit, thats why they make that ugly kit that sticks out an inch.
