Anyone used the HUmount kit for their head units in a 89 Firebird??

These guys do a really nice flush face plate kit for a after market DIN sized head unit but I'm interested to see if anyone got one installed in their 89 (or 85-92) Firebird/TA and how well it fits and what it looks like?

The fit is good as far as looks go, everything tucks behind the factory bezel nicely when it's installed. That being said, you'll need to do some cutting and it's a tight fit. Once you get the plate it'll be pretty obvious that you need to do some cutting, a little bit to the inside of the outer bezel and you need to cut out all of the plastic behind the radio. Once that's all done, it's still a tight fit because there's a ton of wires back there. I'd take some more pictures, but I don't know where my camera is.. I definitely would recommend it, it looks really nice.
