Chinese single din flip out nav system

I just installed a Chinese afteramarket head unit after the stocker in my 91 GTA seen better days.

The fit is not good. What do u guys use to get these head units installed and to get clearance for the flip out screen. (can't adjust the angle) ?

I never considered one with a flip screen, as I assumed it would block the HVAC controls.

Re: Chinese single din flip out nav system

I wouldn't have a double din bezel made for a single din radio. Metra sells different kits for these cars. The one that was on my Camaro, made the radio stick out about an inch past the bezel, but the plastic was molded and contoured to do that. Yours looks pretty flush, try a different kit.
