Eclipse AVN double din trim ring
#2
i see you have many questions...
hopefully i answered the question regarding the double din metal bracket.
for this question, there is no trim ring. you need to custom make one. i'm in the process of doing one from scratch (can't reveal my secret project until I successfully complete it). when deciding on the trim ring dimensions, it all depends on how you mount your headunit.
out of the stock four holes, I used the bottom one, nearest the front of the headunit as my "original" hole. I then drilled three new holes to mount additional screws. this gave it the most flush look (i still need to test to make sure the unit opens/closes).
best of luck

It looks like the brackets fail to center the HU in the opening? That's unusual...

I've also seen other installs where the trim piece is behind the dash finisher
I think its looks better when the trim piece is flush with the dash surface.

The end result is very gratifying, gives it an OEM look.

Then measured the right amount of space needed for it to be flush with the surface.
Then I mounted the HU.
