[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8631017, member: 633600"] Next up was the Sony RSX-GS9 install. Remember how the director was in the last install (done by the previous installer, not myself). Well, it wasnt the best. It was inside of a cubby that had a flip up door that was under the HVAC controls. It wasnt the best install, and wasnt a great location as it was recessed inside of this small cubby. So, we ditched the cubby and replaced it with the Sony and a fitting bezel. Behind the tape, the sony is installed with two L-brackets that get bolted down with factory hardware and is flush with the hvac control bezels surface. The bezel was made of of 1/4" chop strand fiberglass filler. Pretty **** strong. It is secured via pressure from the HVAC controls bezel pushing it into the shifters panel.
