i was told that the width of the stock unit is odd compared to aftermarket head units..is this true? if so what do i need to do to get a after market unit of average size to fit properly?

well if you break the little plastic surround thingy then you will have extra room around it and just have a professional install the head unit but watch them very carefully, they should have all of the covers and such.

width isnt a problem unless you had the little amp thing like the verts had, then its a bit wider

depending on the sound system your car came with it may be single din or double din.. i installed one on the vert a while back.. nothing odd about it.. i got rid of it later though cuz the way the radio didnt seem to fit in with the rest of the dash bothered the hell out of me..
