Flush Mounting Radio

Hey guys i just finished flush mounting my Sony Xplode radio. I read on here that it was really tough to do, but it only took me 20 minutes. When i first installed the deck 2 years ago it stuck out over an inch, i read on here it was hard to do so i said forget. Well today i got my spare radio pod, metal cutting scissors, trimmed all the black plastic that was used for the gm radio mounting and i now have a ferfectly fluch radio. Pictures in a few days, don't have a digi cam

Most of the cd players will hit the vent or whatever it is because the cd player is to deep when it is mounted flush.. I tryed it.. I onlky needed another half a inch more room..
