Im trying to decide if i want to go with a reg din stereo with gauges on top or a double din with a-pillar gauges or flip put.What would you?do

 

alpine stereo that i installed in my 85 GS:

 

i wouldn't use one of those that has the screen that comes out and flips up. it'll just block ur heater/ac controls. if u go the double din route, get those that have the touch screen and nav built in. mine is like dave's only it's a sony head unit.

 

I went the single din route, but I massaged the center console to fit the head unit with a couple of gauges instead of a separate panel.

 

if i had the extra money id get a double din.

 

Looking nice guys.Here is a pic of how i bought the car.I did not do this.I am liking the idea of a double din,but i think it would look better with a single din and gauges ontop.

 

Looks like another chance for me to flog this tired ol' pic, heh.

 

I'd like to see some more stereos as well. My car is in a dire need for a new deck and speakers, but I've yet to see a stereo I like the look of.

 

here is the only pic i have right now. i used a regular mounting kit, then put carbon fiber across the bottom to fill the hole. looks better than the cheap plastic mount kit.

 

Here is mine

 

thinking about going carputer when i go standalone

Here's my double din setup. Includes cassette tape head for the real authentic Fb experience!

 

nice setup .... but whats up with that shift **** ????

 

That was the pici was looking for.I seen it somewhere and could not find it.So there is not much in the way for that double din?

 

Clean install!

 

Thanks! It was a pain cutting 3/5” from both sides making it fit center. But with this new payer I’m able to change the color to perfectly match the rest of the gauges. Has a stock-ish look. I'm still molding the a-pillar for the gauge pod. I didn't look right just bolting it to the a-pillar.

 

Hi dude!
There is about 7minutes of cutting REquied

 

the way i set up mine was very simple, and looks nearly as good as jete's.. basically I used the bottom of the old single din plastic that i had, made 2 pieces of aluminum to put at the top left and right and put it in. I'll post a pic of it.. but i'm not sure if it would work as well on an SA
