I was just wondering if someone could give me some links to some pics of some stereos that have been installed in caprices, also if anyone knew where i could get a mount so im not ghetto rigging like i am right now? i found this https://www.metraonline.com/product.aspx?sku=02-3032 and this https://www.metraonline.com/product.aspx?sku=99-4812 but they dont look like the would properly fit a stereo...maybe its just me, if someone could give me some help here i would really appreciate it.

It looks as though you need both kits. Your factory radio is blended into the plate that holds your climate controls. The two kits togther will: 1. Allow you to mount your radio in a din and a half hole and 2. Allow your radio/plate combo to blend into the climate controls. To remove the factory radio you need to remove the glove box and disconnect the heater cable behind it to remove the radio/ climate control panel. There are two screws above the radio and two under the radio. The two lower screws go straight up and can be accessed by removing the ashtray.
