    use the head unit mount from crutchfield. there's two pieces, you only need the main rectangular one.

    remove factory radio.
    dremel out the little piece of metal/sub-frame/dashboard directly behind the head unit
    put new head unit in said rectangular piece. (it will sit flush)
    install, put your four screws in, add dash piece.

    FLUSH. if it weren't -500* outside, i'd go take pictures. if you can't figure it out, you don't deserve a flush receiver.

    97 GT - slow, rusty
    93 CTD - more slow, less rust

    I am not as worried about getting it flush. I do like the flush look better, but I mainly want a bezel/dash kit that looks nice--as in not the standard plain black cheap plastic looking thing, but I can't spend a fortune on it.

    I have also seen some that have a little pocket right under the stereo. It would make sense that this type would have the stereo raised up a little higher than one that mounts it right in the middle with gobs of cheap plastic on top and bottom of the stereo. Anyone know if this type of set up puts the stereo high enough to clear the brace in the dash so you could mount it further back without cutting?
