The good news is that they are cheap.
Like many of these after market parts not enough thought went into the design, mainly they were made to make a buck and they were not done by qualified designers. You only have to see the fiasco on some of the supercharger pulleys to see what I mean.
The aperture should have its top the same distance from the top as the single DIN is. The aperture should fit the trim ring that comes with the radio, they are probably all the same size or there would be trouble with cars that originally came with 2 x DIN head units. The cages should fit no problem. My cage screws directly to the shelf above the radio no problem, the shelf below the OEM 1 x DIN radio is removed flush to the wall of the console. The aperture in this printed bezel is too large as the cage flanges should fit against the inner aperture flange.
My 2 x DIN radio fits like a glove, I made the parts by modifying two OEM radio bezels and attached the switch part of the bezel to take the place of the ashtray module. I have yet to paint it or the bezel of a different design yet, I do not rush these things and spend more time thinking about the job. I have spent two years trying to match the silver paint. 🙄
