you need to get the GXE Ventilator assembly other wise an aftermarket radio will not look right. You'll have big gaps on the sides of the headunit.

I used to have a Panasonic 7301u in my old car, and it was a really good unit, and it can be brought on eBay for around $150. But another brand people usually overlook in Clarion, and they make some of the best head units out along with Eclipse and Alpine.
