So my new android radio I bought is too small for the factory opening, too big for the metra dash kit, and the little surround piece they gave me is too big for the opening in the dash. Going to have to trim either the metra kit or the one that came with the radio. Anybody ever have to do this? If so how did you go about trimming nice and straight? Im open to other ideas as well. Lets hear your thoughts....

Not today but this week:
$470 emergency repair for fuel filter and fuel pump control module, had a mess of codes for missfire/low pressure at rail/pissed module.
$$$ blew out rear air bags pulling my trailer to Colorado, it is now in storage.
Now homeless, the house we were going to buy we walked on, no thanks those sellers are terrible!
On the way out here, items in the bed got too hot, probably EGTs. Bottles of ATF blew and made a mess. The chemical resistant bed liner is bare steel in a larger spot. Went to home depot to get some dawn dish soap to clean it up, the cap came unscrewed and now it's in the seat and carpet.
