Pioneer DEH-80PRS Stereo Install + Authentic '95 Cobra R Radio Delete Panel

I got tired of my Tape deck and need to step into 2012. I need a stereo that could hook up to my iPhone and could also play Pandora. I waited for like 6 Months for Pioneer to release the new DEH-80PRS deck. Its the Top of the Line Pioneer Deck for 2012. The best of the best. Has 2 USB hook ups on the back so i can charge 2 phone or run 2 devices if i wish.

Since I wanted a CLEAN install, I decided to mount my APEX-i Digital Tach in the second din-spot. I search HARD for a AUTHENTIC 1995 Cobra R Radio Delete panel. This is a real one and i think i got the last one of earth. In the 1995 Cobra R the radio delete panel was in the top din spot. I wanted to see if it would mount in the bottom spot so i could mount my digital tach to it.

The Cobra R Radio Delete Panel is plastic and made by Roush. It looks OEM even down to the texture. It snap into place using clips like OEM pieces do. I did have to grind it down to fit the lower din but it fits perfect.

Here is a picture of a 1995 Cobra R with the radio Delete.

Here is My cobra R radio delete before I installed it. Amazing OEM quality and was well worth the money.

Here is a pic of the Stereo installed with the delete kit.

And the Final Version. I used 3M 20 pound rated Extreme Double Stick Tape to mount the APEX-i RSM to the delete panel. Holds SOLID.

I love my change pocket under my radio, I keep my remote in there.

Thats a nice delete panel though.

I cant have anything loose in that slot because i drive hard at tracks and such. Anything will go flying when i take a turn.

Looks good, I was thinking of the DEH-80 as my new HU but honestly could not justify the price for the amount of time I spend in my car and the fact that the convertible has so much sound loss

Great idea on the meter mount too, my scangauge is on the steering column but if it was any bigger I would annoy me and I would be copying your idea on that (although I would probably use a cheap piece of plastic instead of searching for an authentic R plate)
