Ok, I was checking out my stereo in my truck last night and pulled the front off the dash, and the guy before me installed a really ugly stereo, but to do so, he cut the sides of the radio support brackets off. Is this section replaceable or did he just ruin my dash?

 

Pics? I would highly doubt he ruined the dash as so it's not usable.

 

I will get some shortly. I mean ruined as in I can't put in a different radio now.

 

Might just need another in-dash kit. 10 bucks at wally world

No its the part that the stereo would bolt to.

 

You can buy kits that dont require bolts. They use pins and latches.
Mine didnt require any bolts at all.

 

Ugly stereo

The sides are cut out.

 

Wow. That is a hack job.

You'll have to get creative. You won't be able to see it in the end.

Looks like your dash has seen better days.

 

No ****. The guy before me obviously didn't give a **** about the truck, I just spent 2 hours cheaning just the doors, half a bottle of 409 and about 3 rags and they still aren't clean.
