I still haven't installed mine, but my plan is to use the existing face plate of my Saab factory issue. I'll just have to cut off a few plastic pieces and glue on the knobs. Fortunately, the empeg fits in the slot in a somewhat retreated style, so there is space to fit the old faceplate on top. maybe later I can figure out some crazy locking mechanism. Attached is a pic of the fit and the faceplate to give the idea.
