Kenwood Double DIN Install/Kenwood 6-Disc CD Changer Install (Pictures)

First, here is my Kenwood DPX301 Head Unit. The thing was too big to squeeze through the opening, so I had to use a Sander and sand down some parts to make it fit. Secondly, I put some weatherstripping around the plastic bezel on the inside, and wedged the unit in there. It feels more secure than if it was bolted in. What I want to know is, what are some recommendations to give it a cleaner look? I don't know how to push the CD Player in farther (it sticks out too far for my taste) Without completely cutting the bezel out! Need some recommendations!

Here is my Kenwood Changer to accompany the Head Unit. I took the old Clarion Disc Changer Bracket and Disc Changer (Which is for sale, btw), and laid down a piece of fabric on the bottom with glue. I than gorilla-glued the changer to the side of the console, beacause the included mounts were too big to fit in the console. Also, I can't figure out where to put that wire so its out of the way!

Anyways, Ill be happy to answer any questions!
