check out this pink fit! Not sure if you guys saw it a while back but it is a left hand drive Fit with an oem double din radio bezel! it looks like it. you would have to pause it and look at it carefully. maybe if we know where the car is from we can source it.

The pink K20 Jazz is from the Philippines. The 2-din bezel from any other LH drive country (including the Philippines) will not work, as is, for the USDM and Canadian Fit. It will need some modification.

pretty major, Ben @ A&J racing did it to his FIT; I believe one of the guys on the forums from up there did the install and their was a lot of shaving and cutting to do with a dremel. I'm sure if you take the bezel to a stereo shop they could modify it to fit like OE, but the question is are you willing to pay to get it done, or risk wasting $150 on a bezel you might destroy.

I'm negotiating with a company in Asia that does OE dashboard panels. They are charging me $8K just for the mold for the double din bezel. This does not include the production of the actual bezel itself. It will take about 2 months to make the mold. I don't know if I can recoupe even just the cost of the mold. There seems to be not much interest for this piece. Not unless I hear otherwise, I will drop this project.

if no other shop can't get one done, then I have to choice but to put my money to work...

Another problem with the LHD double din bezel is the fact that the you also have to buy the AC and Rear Defrost switches as well!! The North American version of the switches will not fit into the holes.
It's just a matter of time before someone comes out with this. I wouldn't spend the money in making a mould....the company will charge you to make the mould and then sell the product to you. Then they'll probably turn around and sell it to someone else!!!

Here is a side by side comparison of the LHD double din bezel and a USDM bezel.

Well good news everybody. I emailed SCOSCHE and METRA AUDIO and BOTH companies are going to release a double din bezel for our USDM and CND fit's that are OEM QUALITY in late october/ early november. They both say the bezel is going to cost under $100. So if anybody is going to go and get it custom made, i recommend waiting a couple of months for the drop in piece to be available!
