I have a generic 75 double din fascia plate bought for a super cheap unit linked to by Wes some time ago, however the Pioneer unit doesn't sit well with this fascia.

Pictures and suggestions welcome.

I havent done it to the zt/75, although fitted one to my nieces old Corsa. If it is similar to this surround



as opposed to this surround

from THIS How To thread (which gives a crude but possibly effective workaround - but your head unit may be a lot heavier)

you will be on a hiding to nothing. On my niece's car, no matter what I did, the stereo always wanted to point upwards (gravity an' all that). Getting it decently secured was a major issue. With the second fascia, with a decent deep cage, the recessed sides and bottom, look like it will move the pivot point further back, in line the upper screw fixings to act against it (if that makes sense?).
