A little smaller than the dash opening, I made the trim ring out of aluminum and polished it to go with the chrome bezel rings of the gauge cluster. You'll have to cut the plastic bar that separates the stock Bose units. I also made a attaching bracket from some 1/8" steel and welded a bolt on the back that is secured to the old radio mounting bracket. Finding an antenna adaptor was hard, I went with a (male) power hidden one.

My interior plastics were done in Indonesia and cost $1100. You can get the same thing done by www.rau-autowood.com , they offer a couple of options. My suggestion is to do a search on the various carbon/kevlar/aramid hybrids that are available then have them wrap your parts. Try to get everything done at once to ensure uniformity and pattern alignment. Check out my build thread in the nw section for more pics and info when you get a chance.
