I found this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=455061 and I have a 99-4000 metra unit that sticks out and has the little jewel case pocket. I havent chopped into it yet so its still returnable, but I see that it does stick out. I can only visualize how this is gonna look. As for the pocket, its kinda small and I dont think it would good for storing much of anything. Does anybody have pics of installs using the various install kits available?
Eric, the metra kit with the pocket sux. The CDs will fly out when you accelerate. It also sticks out about 3/8" from the trim.
IMO, the best mounting kits come from Crutchfield. You can also get kits from Best Buy etc. Its nothing special for a Corvette. GM has used the same radio mounts for almost all of their cars for years.
I received mine from vrumvrum today and I must say it is very sweet. I agree that I've never seen any hu kit that compared. Forget the flimsy plastic crap from the kits and go with this heavy gauge metal mounting plate for a look that I'm sure you will be proud to display.
