Installing this in my Ford F250 Super Duty required a modification with a hack saw. The back tabs were not needed and would not allow the unit to go into the dash. I cut them off and everything fit perfect after that.

Did the job, but not designed properly

It did the job, but I had to actually cut parts that were not designed to be cut off (per the instructions!) The screws that came with it were not long enough once I used the supplied spacers (again, per the instructions!) It worked, but it wasn't that great of an option.

Necessary bracket, fits nice and tight.

Was replacing an older radio in my F-150 and was a bit surprised that this mounting bracket is a bit of a tight fit. The dash has tons of room was everything is pulled out, but this took a bit of patience to get in correctly. However, the upshot of that is the visual fit once everything is assembled back together is nice and tight and looks pretty darn close to factory fresh.

This kit fit my dash well and held the Kenwood stereo I purchased just fine. However, because it is universal and used for multiple vehicles, some of the instructions seemed unclear and the rear plastic mounts needed to be cut off which took a bit of work. Needed to call Crutchfield several times to get it right (Crutchfield customer service is 5+ stars however). Overall it works but takes a little effort to get it to fit the specific stereo I purchased.

Fits nice after you figure it out, but many people who are not garage tinkerers will not be able to and will end up living with the unfinished look and loose bezel. The instructions were terrible and unclear in regard to whether or not the spaces are required. To all all who read this, for a 2004 - 2008 F-150 they are not. The next and biggest problem is that the supplied brackets that attach the radio are plastic where the brackets that came off of the the factory radio are metal. Therefore, they have to make the plastic brackets significantly thicker than the metal brackets in order to maintain the same strength. This extra thickness causes the factory bezel to now fit poorly as it can only be fastened with the bottom clips vs. the six or eight (depending on the model) that are required for a flush tight fit I am guessing that Metra and others use plastic brackets as it is cheaper to mold plastic than it is to to stamp and punch steel ones. However, at least in the case of this very popular vehicle there is no way to obtain a tight professional looking fitment with this approach. Consequently, I made the mistake of assuming that the bezel would fit with the supplied brackets and cracked it over this issue. This caused me to have to do some epoxying and a trip to the junkyard vs. paying for a new bezel from Ford for $540.00. I then removed and modified the original radio brackets by drilling and grinding them. The bezel now fits cleanly with al

Instructions need to be reviewed/updated

Kit worked in my 04 F150 but directions are terribly worded. Instructions direct you to use the spacers for my model. But with them in place the unit sticks out too far and dash trim with the controls wouldn't snap into place. Had to remove the spacers to get proper fit.

Works okay, concerned about long-term durability

So, this was included free with the purchase of my head unit. The finished look is good (see photo), which is the only reason this review isn't 1 or 2 stars. The included instructions were horrible to follow. The instruction booklet covered 40 different vehicles, and at each step you have to scan through a list to see if that step applies to your vehicle or not. Additionally, the instructions had me trim pieces off (good thing I own a dremel) - the required tools didn't mention anything about that. The other concern I have is that this is made of ABS plastic. and the plastic tabs are the only thing holding my head unit in place. The factory head unit had a screw on the rear that made it stable, connected in the front and back. With the new Pioneer AVH-1440NEX head unit, the back end is just "floating" in the dash and the only thing holding it in place is this plastic kit. If it were installed in a vehicle that stays on pavement all the time I wouldn't be worried, but it is installed in my truck which does a fair bit of rough, bumpy driving off-road. The last aftermarket stereo I installed came with a stamped steel sleeve, which was much more durable.

Necessary evil, I guess

This thing is pretty terrible. The directions are printed on a half-page booklet with small lettering and small diagrams. It's a generic kit that fits a lot of models so I guess Metra figures "we'll just write incredibly generic , poor directions and sell it on the cheap". It called for using the spacers on my vehicle, which weren't needed luckily because the mounting screws would've been too short (as some reviewers have said). It also says to cut the rear tabs but does not show where, leaving it up to you to figure out. I emailed Crutchfield and let them know there's other manufacturers than Metra. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it does fit and hold the unit secure, although with a lot of frustration and swearing beforehand.

No problems with the kit, fit and finish are very nice. I would have liked the screws to be about 1/4" longer to make it easier to engage the U-nuts (I had to look that one up) that are used to fasten the radio to the dash itself but they worked out fine once I help everything together tightly when screwing them in.

Works and after attaching to radio seems solid. Had to remove spacers that instructions said to install and cut a section so the radio will screw in correctly (Pioneer avh-1440nex). My main issue is the angle of the face of the radio with the kit. The bottom of the radio is recessed slightly compared to the top. Probably necessary due to the interior design of the F150, though.

it could be designed better

I was not really a fan of this one, I had to cut off the 4 large pieces in the back with a saw to even get it to fit and even that was tight. I felt like I was about going to break it. Where to put the screw holes in the radio were not really lining up right either. It does its job but with adjustments and some finagling

Not much to say here... it's a lot of plastic, but it gets the job done. I did have to cut off the back tabs on the side, to fit it into the opening (2004 F-150), but the manual does say to do this, for certain car models. I would have preferred to pay $10 more to get far less plastic. I seriously dislike the excessive use of plastic; especially in areas where alternatives are usable. While It does the trick, I'll likely be keeping my eye out for one that's made with an aluminum face and some sort of metal mounting bracket in back. Used an oscillating saw to cut the back tabs off, but it ended up melting through part of it, instead of cutting it. Be sure to secure it with a bench vise if you use one, though; just don't over-tighten so you crack the plastic.

Necessity for installing an aftermarket radio, expect to have to cut tabs off the side brackets to install in the dash of an E-450.
