well i looked on my old deck and really the only thing secures the radio is that trim peice... the deck kinda hangs there...

as far as a new radio goes i have a 1.5 Dinn 2.75 Inch LCD DVD screen with remote going in with all harnesses and adapters

Nice score on the IUP trim.

It took me 2 years to get mine

It matches the silver exterior perfectly!

A little off topic, but....

Why did you wait 2 years to obtain it? I just pulled mine out and painted it (along with the defroster trim and the HVAC knobs) with some left over paint when I did my Bullitt scoops. So now I have a psuedo-IUP that matches perfectly my Mineral Gray exterior.

Best pic I have of it: http://www.mikuhl.net/corral/img/kenwood-dvd.jpg

I can shoot some more if you want.

Because everyone wanted an arm and a leg for those peices. The shifter bezel was $300 or so alone from Ford. I finally found them for cheap decent prices separately.

I know i could have painted them, but to be honest I don't like painted interior parts. I know they are just painted anyway from the factory but i trust Ford more than i trust myself. Plus it's all nice and OEM.
