My advice would be to not cut your original bezel. If it's otherwise in good shape, hang on to it. By a repro and cut the repro.

if this really is an issue, you can buy a repro bezel that is already formed to accept a DIN radio housing. keep in mind, however that depending upon the screen size, you will be blocking some if not all of your gauges (not recommended to say the least). most states require that the unit be wired in such a way that it cannot be operated while the car is in motion if mounted in the front seating area. you might want to be careful regarding that. it will produce a pretty stiff fine (moving violation and points in most places).
