Radio Fitting Advice....

I have a 98 V6 Camaro and have still have the stock radio, I have been looking at different ones online and was wondering what ones have you guys found that meet the exact dimmensions of the stock radio/trim, If not what do I do with the empty space if I buy a smaller radio. I am a little short on money but just give me some ideas and I will go with it. Thanks.

If you go to any major electronics store like Best Buy or Circuit City, they sell universal mounting installation kits that will fill the gap. You will also need to pick up a wire harness adapter for the year of the car. Almost every aftermarket HU is gonna be smaller than the original one.

Just get a dash kit. It fills in the blank space. Some provide an extra storage pocket, others are just flat plastic. Any retailer that sells the radios will have the kits.
