Just added the 1985-92 Firebird double din brackets & bezels to the website. The brackets make a double din install much easier, especially with one of the new Kenwood radios with a smaller chassis. We will making a Youtube video later this week, but with the new Kenwood DMX4710S and the brackets it's a very easy install with no cutting or modifying of the car. Just line up the brackets, wire the radio and install. You can use other double din radios with the brackets but since the radio will be larger there isn't as much room. The brackets have 4 slots which will allow you to move radio forward/backward and allow for different brands of radios that may have different mounting hole locations. The bezels are 3D printed, available with or without the checker pattern and available for digital dash cars with the smaller opening. Link and pics below:

These are cool. Do you have an ETA on 82-84 cars?

Still working on the 1982-84 cars. Couple of challenges on those. In order to fit a double din you have to cut a lot of the center console out, once done you don't see it. But no one makes new consoles and used ones are crazy high, so do you think most people would be ok with cutting the console? Also heat/ac controls need to move up some (1/8" to 1/4" depending on which bezel you have) which requires making some more changes, looking like it will work best to replace the metal plate that supports everything. That would make a clean install and make everything sturdy but would make the mounting kit expensive compared to the other kits we sell (guessing around $100). Based on solutions to those challenges and popularity of the 1985-92 kits will determine when the 1982-84 kit is available.

That all makes sense. I'd be down to trim a bit but I'd be a little less likely to do any major hacking in the console. You're totally right, they're a hard part to get. That head unit you guys sell is exactly what I was looking for also!

thanks for the info and all the work you put in.

No problem! It's definitely something we would like to have available. Working on solutions that require as little modification as possible, trying different bezels and other ideas. I'll post some pics tomorrow and tag you so you can see what needs removing.

That's awesome, thanks
