Dodge Ram (1500, 2500, 3500) Radio Stereo Double Din Navigation Bright Silver Metallic Bezel Installation Kit (2002 2003 2004 2005)
The Dodge Ram 2002-2005 Factory Bezel is designed to house Single Din Radios only. Therefore modifications are necessary to install larger Double Din Radios. Modifying is completed by hand and often includes cutting the Factory Bezel, filling it with bondo or fiberglass, then sanding and painting or using vinyl to cover. This process is time consuming and costly, until now. This is the only one piece Double Din Dash Kit available for purchase on the market. This Dash Kit eliminates the need of shipping off your Factory Bezel for a week's worth of modifications that can cost $200-$250. Unlike the modified Bezels this Dash Kit is made up of only one material that will not break or crack when subjected to continuous heat and comes complete with installation brackets, wire harness and antenna adapter for the installation of an Aftermarket Radio.
