cover for the z1 (Page 2) — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted Aug 12, 2006 · 19:33 UTC#26

I am going to go this route also. I have dark tint on my car, but why not redundancy? Stoked, any tips for someone else trying this out? also How do you attach your cover to the z1? I just won this on ebay and I am going to try to make a cover out of it for my Z1 in a mustang GT

So, I feel like its time for me to contribute, since I've been leeching information from this site for about 2 months now. I installed the Z1 and some extras in my Xterra and also did the faceplate thing with my old head unit. Pretty happy with the results. Check out the before, after and faceplate pics. Enjoy. Stoked!

Hi Stoked,

Your Z1 cover looks great. I bought a stock radio on ebay and I am going the same route. Could you post a couple of pictures of the back of the fake to show how you mount it on the Z1? I know you said you put foam on the back to protect the Z1 but how do you hold it in place?

Thanks in advance.

What did you use to get a clean cut on the ABS plastic? Also, what did you use to "stick" it over the Z1 without scratching it? Would a thin sliver of velcro do?

naw not stolen, never, just ppl that replace thier radios and dont take the time to take back thier old unit and just leave it at the store. so after a certain amount of time the store throws it out so y not ask you friend for a favor :idea:

Sweet suggestions in covering up the Z1. As ask previous in this thread, can someone show how you are attaching the factory front of the deck to the Z1 to make it stay....Thanks!

I ended up choosing velcro as seen here.

for those that want a quick cover for the meantime, you can go to an arts and crafts store and get a foam sheet used for hobby's and stuff, and cut it the size to cover the z1 and walla, i made a cover out of a "flag" for $1 covers the z1 great looks like it belongs there. i'll post a pic when i find my camera
