    Default NA radio question

    The OEM radio in the '93 is starting to flake out. From what I've read, the '90-'93 tombstone is not a 'normal' double-din size.

    I really don't want to spend $125 on a JDM tombstone, so what are my options?

    I'd like to find a trim-ring like the one shown in the attached picture.

    I can offer two options....the adapter I got from Titus worked great (for a single din). I forget the brand but I like it. Another is my oem radio that was in perfect working condition. If you intent is double din, sorry, I got nut'n.

    ^DDM Works makes a single-DIN adapter, but I like the double better. Non-removable face is better when I leave the top down.

    ^Finding a radio isn't the problem. The odd-ball size of the early NA tombstone radio opening is.

    I used a kit similar to this in the past (Note the Bezel) ->

    Is there some reason you don't just go to the Crutchfield web site and see what they say fits?

    ^BTDT...I actually ordered a radio from them, and was told I didn't need any sort of installation kit. See attachment for what it looked like installed!

    PS - Now that I look at that picture again, I don't think that bezel would be wide enough.

    PPS - Does anyone know if the later, standard size tombstone will fit a '90-'93?

    You can have my '96 tombstone if you think it will work.

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
