Default 2007 Focus LT fascia problem

I just switched out my stock head unit for a Kenwood dpx u5130bt unit.

After wiring it up and modifying the original Focus brackets, its fits great and is very solid.

The problem I have is the fascia I got does not fit into the space around the head unit. Apparently the unit is not regular 2 Din size, but it fits perfectly using the original brackets, so I am at a loss.

Also, I have tried to contact multiple places about getting something to fit, with no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Cheers

Where is it not fitting? Around the edges of the head unit? You might be able to lightly file/sand it out bigger without butchering it to fit if thats the case.

If it wont clip in, then you might need to find an aftermarket facia.

I have the aftermarket one, but its too thick on the sides, and not thick enough on the top and bottom.

I have thought about trying to modify it, but its never gonna look like its supposed to be there.

Hopefully I can find one somewhere, Ive been looking a lot for about 2 weeks now.

You can also swap the whole fascia.
