Single din dash tray - your thoughts needed

[Scotty]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could offer some advice. I currently own a R33 that has 2 din's in the dash free. I currently have a huge gaping whole in my dash. Anyway, I intend on using one for gauges, and the second for the stereo.

The only problem is, I have heard a lot of bad press (rightfully so) about stolen HU's, so I'm after a stealth install.

Would it be possible to fit a HU behind the front panel of the single din dash tray. As you all probably know, there is a cover for the tray which can be closed. I thought it would be perfect to hide the stereo behind that.

Thoughts? I don't mind fabricating the the tray cover, but for those who have one, do you think if would be feasible.

On a side note, does anyone have a tray, with this cover for sale?

Thanks heaps!

ps, for those who don't know what the tray looks like, please refer to

Grim sorry mate, I stole your picture as the example.

Cheers!

Scotty,

The easy way out is to have a stereo with a removable face, then it is useless to the crooks. Hiding gauges, boost controllers is also an issue, as they are expensive to replace but you still want them visable. Just get a really good car alarm, don't make anything too obvious and wish for the best.

See'ya:burnout:

yeah.. its a lot easier to just get a head unit with a removable face.. and then tint your windows..

and make sure there is nothing valuable left in your car.. so they wont want to break into it..

and also..

dont leave jackets lying in conspicious places.. coz thieves will think that there is something hidden under there

I bought a head unit which when off goes totally black for this reason. I'm sure the pros still know what it is, but maybe it'll discourage opportunistic kids

[Mr. Oizo]

hahaha.. damn kids..

"i'll just steal this stereo.. maybe i can become cool...

AND

then i can have a stereo in my room"

"hooray for me!!'

Hey,

Thanks all for your reply. Yes, I too agree with the detachable face option and I will be getting one without a doubt. Most upper market stereos have this as standard anyway.

I too will be getting the Brant Nemisis car alarm, but regardless of whether it is detachable, the extra security gives peace of mind. That's why I still want to conceal it completely.

Oh well, I'll get a single din dash and see if it works. If so, I'll upload a few pic for you guys.

So, yeah, anybody got one for sale?

Thanks.

dont forget to tint your windows
