Here are the photos of the center area of the tunnel and the dash with the radio head out, with some foil faced urethane adhered below in some places to minimize any plastic parts resonance from the sound in the gear box below and on the center trim piece back as well. There is a bit of a well which can be a sound chamber of sorts below the radio when it's in and above the zf tranmission so it has a tendancy to act like a resonator and this .080 material should help minimize that by absorbing sound a touch. Won't hurt anything and is something I could do.
there are photos of the radio without its face, the face back, the edge where the bulbs are, the radio with the new face on minus its metal case and then back just sitting loosely in place in the stack of "Modules" from DIC, HVAC controls, radio below all minus the external trim piece. I did remove the shift trim but just loosened it enough to get the tabs back to free the module trim and remove it. Not complicated once you've done it a couple times. helpful to have magnetic pointer in case you drop a screw btw.
Just page through the photos. I have other photos of the speaker amp I replaced but they are not here. It worked perfectly and this is the new face but I managed to not get the bulbs lit so have one more thing to check..a fuse probably got screwed inside the radio case but will call about that Monday. it plays perfectly and no longer has face scratches.
