EVOLUTION Vlll's Orbital 2-DIN CONVERSION KIT..(UPDATED)
 
I received 2 din conversion kit thursday from RICH@ORBITAL
& relocated Heat and AC control..
these were so well packaged by Rich..
Pics were taken friday infront of my house..
Thanks to my man GianCarlo for taking pics and helping me on stripping wires for my new stereo..

1. I got cut on my hand on thursday during the installation =(
working hard with just one hand...-.-;

Thanks to Rich @ Orbital for making this kit dream come true...
Kits were well made and well designed...OEM Fitment too...
I had no problem installing this kit...
I request one thing Rich...U should sell the kit separately to those who purchase the whole kit in the first place..Just in case if we want to go with differnt color set up..or add some other colors...^^ {thumbup}
