Here is the face plate I cut out of some 1/8" thick aluminum. The side wings will be bolted to the radio and then the whole thing as a unit fits into the opening.
There is a lip at the bottom that the bottom part keys into and the top will be secured by two screws into the existing two plastic screw holes.



Here it is in the dash before the plastic trim that came with the radio.
A plastic surround will be cut to fit around the radio on top of the aluminum to finish the plastic work.



Here is the radio with the included plastic trim. Still need to select and cut the plastic surround that goes on top of the aluminum. All that shows is a bit at the top and a very little bit at the bottom.
