there are tons of double din kits sold that will make it flush with the dash like those above.
i got mine on ebay for about 20 bucks shipped.
i recently read a thread of a member who got his for 12.99 shipped from a certain website. search and you will find.
i belive carson toyota also sells these if am not mistaken for about 45 bucks.
tonnes of options my friend
good luck

You are going to have to re-drill the mounting brackets. If your radio is sticks out a 1/2 inch, you will have to re-drill 4 new holes on each side 1/2 inch further back from where they are now. That is the only way. I had the same issue.

I had to redrill my bracket from carson as well to get it all flush with my new kenwood double din. Def worth the trouble, looks a million times better!

Well geeze, every time Jawnthen and I see a thread post with the words "flush" and "monitor" in the title, our ears perk up.

We did our mods long ago, but I'll post again for old times sake.

Do note the re-location of the Climate controls to the bottom.

Uhh i guess you are asking about my set up?

It's all connected to aftermarket amps, DVD, Navi, CD, etc. I did all the work so no labor charge. Just go to the link I provided for more details. Any more questions you can just respond to that thread.
