    That is just the docking piece where the oem radio slides into... right?

    If you have a aftermarket radio, you wont even need it there. But loctite 2 part will make it like new again.

    I dont understand why people go to such lengths to get a 50$ radio, breaking 100s of $$ worth of stuff to get to it. People are such *******s

    How do you crack a cam cover unless you dump the engine on it? Go through that motor with a fine toothed comb before you put it back in. Sorry to see all that damage. Hope you can fix it.

    Nope... It was a Kenwood aftermarket unit. The rest of the system is JL Audio.

    If it was broken when they ripped out the bezel with the head unit, something was attached to it... Unfortunately I didn't put it in. I had a stereo shop do the install, so I don't know how it was mounted.

    Only thing I mounted was the sub, because I knew how I wanted it and it needed bolts welded to the trunk floor so I wouldn't have to drill through risking going into the fuel tank. It's tucked up where the original was. Tight fit for a 12", but in a small down firing, sealed enclosure, it fits.

    The one that was cracked was the one on top as it sat on the pallet. (as seen in the photo of the guy unloading it off the truck) Something smacked into it during shipping, or in loading prior to shipment. I had Chris (my mechanic) pop it off, and nothing looked damaged underneath. Of course it's a weekend, so there's no getting a hold of the company til Mon morning. I can't have him start tearing into the engine itself if I want to keep the warranty for the rebuild...

    I've already been without the car for almost a month. It's my daily, and I need it running... Got a set of covers ordered off ebay. Supposed to have them by Friday.
