Question Need Help with aftermarket CD player...

Ok, I was just wondering what would be the best way to go about finding a aftermarket CD player that would fit in my 1995 Pontiac Trans Am. I know it wont fit exactly but i was wondering what an aftermarket head unit would look like in my car.

Does anyone have any pictures?

Also, I am wiring up a amplifier and subwoofer as well. So what would be the best way to go about installing an aftermarket head unit that wouldnt look like crap?

Thanks

What I did first was single out all of the decks that would match the interior color. Second, I singled out all of them that glowed orange/red at night (for Pontiac's night color) Then I picked which one I liked best. I got this one. It's a Sony Explode 730. Smooth Black face that's has a motorized flip-down. Great deck. They don't make this model anymore, they have the 730M though, I believe, which is very similar, and has the ability to play MP3's. I highly recommend Sony decks. I've got one in the TA and one in my daily driver.

Well, any 1-din unit will fit nicely. There is a company that makes a really good dash kit. Whatever you do, don't get the install kit you will find at Circuit City of Best Buy.

I can't remember the name of the kit I got, but all of these guys reccomended it, and it was awesome compared to the piece of junk the store sold me.

Andif you get a nice deck, it will have preouts so you can wire an amplifier to it real easily.
