[DML] Radio bracket from DMC Houston...

[njp548@xxxx]

Hey List,

This weekend I plan to replace my original ASI radio from my car and I 
have spent this week preparing for that. Tuesday I got my radio bracket from 
DMC Houston in, and then I sent it out to get powdercoated in a black wrinkle 
which came out great. Contrary to what they say....this bracket DOES show 
around the a/c vents and also around the radio a little. I hate the idea of 
having the bare SS showing through. I think they should have them all 
powdercoated the way I did it. The wrinkle effect in the coat does a good 
job of matching the original vinyl covering they did on the original 
brackets. I also ran into a problem with the sleeve bracket the that radio 
came with and the cut out for the radio part on the new bracket. Its too 
small. Not to complain here...but when I spend $150 + on a part thats 
supposed to be a drop in replacement, I didn't expect having to spend $35.00 
to powdercoat it and now I need to file the sides of it down just to make the 
radio fit (also I might add that I am not the only one that found the opening 
too small so its NOT just mine that just happened to be too small, they all 
are like this). And this is supposed to be easier how? Whoever took the 
measurements for this thing must not of put into consideration that they need 
to fit a sleeve bracket around the radio when it gets installed. Whats the 
big deal having the brackets powdercoated before you sell them? At least 
offer a limited amount of them in a black wrinkle powdercoat, I bet that will 
be a big seller.

Later,
