If I hadn't been able to find that coverplate part for my stealth install, I might have done the same thing. In fact, it's still rather tempting, I was very impressed with your job.
Thanks Tony - I first encountered a stealth install when I was about 18 (12 years ago - yikes!) at a "Sound Off" car audio competition here in Vancouver. One of the competitors had dummy stock face plate with a 1/3 of a chopped CD mounted to the backside - he would slip it in when the player was off, and it was suspended there in place. That really stuck with me - and I've been doing it in ever car I've had since.. only had one stereo stolen so far, and that was the time I was lazy and didn't put the rotten plate on...
