I'm opening this thread for a PM since I can't send photos. Tight fit. This is before it was caulked in. All fasteners were carefully installed from behind. Couple of screws hidden under top edge of the unit. Top edge was padded out with 1/2" starboard. Nice clean flush mount install.

Very cool, thank you for making this post. Ill use those cut out dimensions as max for the dash. 12in screen will be great
