Either modify the radio trim piece or order an already modified piece from 6LE, they're a sponsor on here.

6LE only offers them for the 97-02, and they are ridiculously expensive. I've got a 93

put the double din in the cd holder thing. or switch dashes, cause 93-96 dashes were horrible.

That is what I was going to suggest (putting it in the CD holder) as it won't fit otherwise (at least not fit and look factory).

You can always put gauges where the radio was...

That would be kind of cool, but idk about having it mounted so low... there is no possible way to modify the radio trim to accept a double din?
