65 gto radio delete plate
 
Looking for one, came across this-

Anyone got a pic of one installed, wondering about quality.

Thanks

Poor quality , soft cast stud will snap if you use it to install / 3m tape would work & ribs are not clean.

Luckily I sent mine back before the studs snapped. Very poor casting. The top and bottom on the squared side are not parallel , the top line wanders up. The ribs are also wavey.

Thanks guys this is helpful info. I will continue to look for an original.

I bought one from them about 10 years ago and although the quality was not excellent, it was pretty good. It matched the aged rest of the dash parts pretty well. I was careful when installing it and didn't snap the stud, but could have pretty easily. Price has almost doubled since I bought the one I had.

It's better than nothing and original ones are practically unobtainable.
