Double din radio in a 94-98, help!

[Soon2BfastGT]

I'm wanting to install a double din radio in my 98, but I want to put it in the top two slots and move the a/c controls to the very bottom pocket. I pretty much know that this is going to take some fabrication (unless someone makes a kit??), but has anyone done this and what is involved? Or have a picture of what this looks like? I was debating putting the radio bezel out of an 01+ in my 98, but the double din radio will have to sit recessed in the very bottom by the shifter and I don't really care for that. I'd rather have it up higher. Comments, suggestions, pictures...

Thanks!

double din as in one big radio or two seperate?


i swapped out the "double din" sized one in my 2002 for a 94-01 style with the single din sized openings

One big radio. Basically use the top two slots in your picture (a/c controls and your cd player) as the spot for the one big radio, then move the a/c controls to the bottom empty pocket.

if your up for a lil bit of custom work then go for it

Yeah, I knew it was going to take a bit of custom fabrication which is fine, its just always nice to know if someone else has done it and possibly see pictures of the finished project to know a little more about what I'm shooting for or what I'm up against. (I'm sure many people have done it, they just aren't around to help)

Thanks for your input though.

Anyone know where I can find one of the 01+ bezels? Ive looked on Ebay, but can't find anything. I need a black one.
