My car stereo installer is convinced that my '93 has 1.5 din. After I left the shop and searched the forum I found out that my double din (Clarion) will indeed fit without a mod. With all that said my question is this: Is there any gm site that I can direct him to that shows the early c4's having the 1.5 and mine having the double din? I think that he thinks he knows it all (or just just wants to charge me the extra $200 to make the opening a quarter of an inch larger) and I would like to direct him somewhere other than a forum. Thank you in advance~Shawn

I would just show him the opening and the head unit. Then tell him to kiss your *** and install it

do it yourself. Unless it is free install, and that might not be worth all the headaches these days
