WRX Radio Install Question
Reading the How to Document and for the part where you cut off or bend back the flanges. I was just wondering from those who have done it, what tool did you use. What would you use it you had to do it again?

Re: WRX Radio Install Question
I used tin snips. Would not use again. They made it all sharp and stabby. Which is not what you want when you're reaching back there finagling it all into place. Now I would use my angle grinder. It is my favorite tool, because it turns every job into a giant shower of sparks (and sometimes starts fires).
A dremel would probably work well. You don't always have to cut anything though. It depends on the head unit.

WRX Radio Issue
Okay got the radio to fit and it looked pretty good. I ended up just bending back the lip which was much easier than I expected. That steel is a lot thinner than it looks. however I had to remove it and put the old one back in. The new radio was dead.
I am using SVX-dc's WRX to SVX pre-made adapter, so either the radio is broken or the wiring adapter is messed up. Is there a fuse in the WRX double DIN that may be blown or is there someway to test it outside of the car?
