hey guys i was just wondering what you all had to do to your car to get the aftermarket stereo to fit properly? thus far on mine i have had to cut that lil rubber flange that went around the stock stereo.. and it looks like im going to have to cut a good chunk off of the top edge as well... dont really want to, but with the aftermarket install kit, theres only one way to mount it in their

i just got a aftermarket panasonic deck. i let best buy install it because they offered to do it free of charge. it fit right in and they used the old brackets

you shouldnt need to cut any of the dash if you get the right mounting kit and install it properly. mine fit like a glove and i did it myself

all you need is to remove factory and get a dash pocket for the specific year. Its like 20 bucks
