Headunit looks good. You might want to put that little trim piece around it that came with the headunit. I had to re-arrange the screws on my headunit to make mine fit. It makes it look 10x better. Good work though.

tip: what I had to do was where the front mount screws hold it up, I had to make the radio sit up higher (toward the roof). If you have the panel off to take the radio out, try to scoot it upward and see if the trim will clip on.. or maybe you might have to scoot yours downward. Not sure which side(s) your trim clips onto the radio on. Just experiment with it.. but there is a possibility where it couldn't fit on at all.

Hey! Same subs I had in my OZ. Are they 12's? Mine were 12's.

Stick on the trim for the radio. You might have to glue the tabs or use some double sided tape to keep it in place, since no radio trim ring seems to fit real well in these cars.

EDIT: Yes they're 12's...stupid me just read the post...duh.

Yea, my trim is only held on by the bottom of the radio. It doesn't come off though. Like sailorgoon said, you might want to use some double sided tape or hot glue. (hot glue comes off easy)
