It's not a stock replacement. I used their universal unit and my friend
made me a custom panel to put in. He basically used an old street sign...
cut it to size, held it up to the bench grinder that had a wire brush type
attachment. The final appearance is brushed alumninum. We secured that
piece in the hole where the ac unit came out of and then drilled holes into
the aluminum piece and stuck the round dial knobs through.
I'm really picky about my ac though and I like to be blown away by cold air.
To be honest this unit just doesn't blow hard like a new car, but man it
sure feels better than those couple of summers when I didn't have any air in
this 110+ deg. heat :)
