Nice head unit! Recently installed one like that in ours. Required a good deal of trimming behind the radio to get it to fit.

Happy to hear your car is back on the road and running well!

I ended up installing a single DIN with the pocket below. I made a bracket to hold a voltmeter and mounted that in the pocket. Only reason I did it this way is because the single DIN was leftover from another car that I junked and I wanted an excuse (and a place) to mount a voltmeter.

Which one did you use? Can you post some pictures of it?

Sure. Here you go.
I got it from Coverlay Manufacturing.
The fit is decent - although, it would be nice if they also offered a matching airbag cover. Now I just have to see if the upholstery shop can make something that looks halfway decent.
It's pretty clear where the dashcap ends, but it's not in your normal line-of-sight, so it doesn't bother me. New shifter boot coming soon.

I bought one those covers but haven't installed it on my wife's car yet. Looks pretty nice
