This is the stocker vs the WRX Bezel:

There's a sweet pre-drilled hole found in the wall between the engine bay and leg compartment - Located right next to the Brake master - I used it to run the power wire from the battery - and the rubber grommet comes in handy too for insulation -

Yay!

Now - in the back of the center console trim is an opening that is part of the whole dash - it forms a "ring/contraption" which the stock radio locks into - I didn't want to ruin that in case I'd want to get rid of the truck someday so I had to dremel just enough room from the top and bottom in order for the bezel to slide in tightly -

Here's what I had to cut out from the top - about the same for the bottom but not as much -

I would also recommend sanding/filing down the edges to make the smooth and flat - You want to cut just enough for the Bezel to sit down in and you always wanna leave a slight bit of the dash part on each side at the bottom for the Stock Radio to still be able to sit on as well -
