I don't like drilling holes in my cars, but I REALLY don't like covering gauges or those magnetics and a/c vent clips.
I wanted a cradle that had a charger too, so I used this ProClip. I already had a USB power cable from the radio in my glove box that made it easy.
See attached.
I have done this twice.
The second time I used a piece of green opaque plastic.
I went to WalMart and found a piece on a plastic food container lid.
The container was clear and the lid was green. Just bought it and cut out a piece.

You need a good original logo to give to the sign maker. They can reduce it to cut the vinyl.
The problem is, on such a small piece it's really hard to pic the unwanted vinyl out of the logo.
Have them make several because you'll need them.

I may be the guy with the custom logo.
I just found a piece of opaque plastic and used that. It has a foam ring around it for some reason. I made a foam ring out of weather stripping from home depot.
I had a sign shop make a tiny vinyl logo and put it on the back side of the plastic.

The install using a kit from DoubleD would be way easier than how I did it. THe Pioneer unit required cutting metal behind the radio.
The radios that Double D supplys may not be as deep.
Anyway, the main hassle I had was removing and installing the radio bezel, because you have to remove the...
The three buttons on the hide-away panel are:
Black-Nitrous gauge on-off
Red - Arms Nitrous
Green- purge button (purges out of hood scoop w/green LED's
The ad on Ebay did not mention the need for a new frame, or even straightening. I think when he started getting questions about the frame from bidders (me and others) doing due dil, he stopped the sale. It'll show up on other sites.

I wish I could take full credit.
I ordered the modified radio bezel, unpainted, from an outfit called Double D Mods, then installed the Pioneer myself, then painted the bezel.
If I had it to do over again, I would order the whole kit from doubledmods.com.

Another item from Superbright you might consider is their LED brake light replacement.
They have a built in 3 strobe flasher. When you hit the brake, all the bulbs flash 3 quick times, then go solid red.
Plug and play, with no control box, etc. I replaced all six brake/tail bulbs in my '09 and...
No, I did not take them apart.
I plugged the one fluid inlet.
I cleaned them up with gas, then acetone using Q-tips in hard areas.
Then preped with 800 grit.
Two coats SSG Mopar paint.
Four clear coats using 2000 grit between coats.
I did paint the back sides, even though you can't see that...
Yes, young'un, they are silver leaf, like they use on lawyer's office doors. Oops, lawyers can afford Gold. Me - just silver.
Heat? I just go. Not much stopping unless she's really nice looking.
Not tracking the car, so heat shouldn't be a problem
I used Mopar SSG paint, and automotive clear coat. I used the same rattle can paint on my engine compartment.
Heat should not be a problem on the calipers as I do not track the car. I've always wondered why the didn't use SRT-10 on the calipers, so I added that.
