Default Wanted: stereo pics

Does anyone out there have any pics of an aftermarket stereo install on a 1993? I am running into width problems and the trim around the new receiver. Thanks

I have looked there, no pics of a 93, the 93 is different from the later versions of the c4, changes to the dash panel itself...

yea, but I think I have pics of my 92 install.

and the dash isn't going to effect your install one bit. no speakers go there, and the hole, tho a little different, isn't going to effect install one iota.

Discard the trim ring. You'll have to make a bracketing system yourself, (all the commercial models I've seen were lousy) but the final result will be that only the nose of the head unit poking through. In this case, I temporarily glued a small piece of textured ABS to the back of the dash panel so something covered the hole. The HU is a basement-level Alpine I installed just to sell the car. Also, the whole dash pad can be removed and somewhat large tweeters installed in the corners. Then you can modify the door panels to get rather large mids/midbasses in the doors.

I used a dash kit from Metra which includes a little storage pocket, with a little tweeking here and there the head unit fits perfect.
