    Make your own. Considering the 97-03 wasn't intended originally to have a double din you'll have to get custom. Get some ABS plastic sheets and a template made and use some plastic goop to bond it together...sand and then paint and it should blend in.

    I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the Montanna or other mini-van one worked or could be made to work.

    go to home depot and get some plumbing strap.. works best.. use small 4 inch section and bend it into a 90* angle

    Ok I'll go try it. I hope the holes won't show.
    If you a photo somewhere it would be great. Otherwise don't bother, I'll figure it out.

    Btw what keeps it from moving inside ?

    Ok so here is what I did.

    I got at Home Depot
    The plumbing stap
    And a piece of plastic.

    I used the strap to push the DVD to the front.

    I cut 2 pieces of the plastic made holes for the screw with the solder iron and I coated it w a plasi dip.

    Then installed it


    Now it looks like this

    Not perfect but ill fix it to be tight.
