No one makes a face plate to fit a DD radio for our cars. No the GTA has a face place that is very close and only minimal triming of the top and bottum of the face plate is needed to get it to fit.

Build it yourself. Do some trimming, You can plastic weld with a soldiering iron (watch U tube) then some texture paint. Worst comes to worst you screw one or two plates up.

which is why I bought 2 for my 4th gen dash swap
