Default Removed Radio cover, want a better option.

Hi All,

I installed a new Kenwood X998 headunit in my AP1 (which seems to be a good headunit).

I've never like the radio cover on S2K's, and it's more of a problem with the Kenwood unit as even with the Modifry DCI, having access to the radio is really needed.

I removed the cover, but it is obvious that something is missing.

Does anyone have some better ideas on how to remove the radio cover with a more finished look ? Does anyone make a radio surround for this purpose ?

Thanks for any ideas.

Guess the CR one is out of the question?

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I don't want any cover at all so that I can easily access the radio, and so that I can see the clock on the display.

I would just like a more finished look that I have right now.

Every S2000 but the MY2000 models has a clock on the instrument panel. Is yours that early?

Maybe this is like the secret compartment because my 03 doesn't have a clock anywhere except for the radio.

I would also like to know this as well.

The only time I open the radio door for my newer Sony, is to insert a CD. Everything is controlled with the app on my Note4 which is on the Akron floor mount. Streaming etc. Volume is the dash control.
I put an analog clock on a metal clip and slipped in on the pax dash slot tray.

I don't like looking at the radio, I prefer the darkness and clean lines of nothing.

^ Same, except I put in a "Media Player", which has no CD drive since I haven't used a CD in many years. I use Bluetooth for everything and control the volume with the stock controls.

US m.y. 2000 headunits had no clock. 2001+ AP1s had a clock in the headunit, while AP2s had a
clock in the dash
