I installed the F90bt on my mitsu evo, since the navi is smaller, therefore I have gap all around my navi, hence I was wondering do they have a outter navi bracket or some sort to cover up the spaces ?

 

or is there any DIY solution ?

 

thanks !

I had to fashion my own for my Nissan Altima; try looking for a double din spacer ring.. basically its a piece of plastic that you trim to fit.

my brother in law has an 2008 nissan altima and they had a dbl din kit for that car. It fits perfectly.

either he has manual climate controls in which case Nissan has a perfect dash kit

 

or he has automatic climate controls and bought the tacky-ass metra / scosche kits which are tacky-ass and do not match

 

obviously I wouldn't have fabricated my own trim pieces if I didn't have a choice; see the spaces one each side of the headunit on the pic below:

The metra kit to install double din in the Vibe/Matrix has exactly the kind spacer you're looking for, and it's under $20. it sits around the DDin unit and sits out about 1/2" on top and bottom, and an inch on the sides.

 

It might need a bit of additional work, but it'd look a lot better then the space.
