I have one of this skinny "pockets" from a recent stereo upgrade.  The OEM
radio is about 1.5x larger than the Alpine 7822 that I had put in.  The
pocket could have remained, but it would have needed a cheesy looking filler
plate between the pocket and the radio.  Soooo, I have one available if
anyone is interested.  

BTW the stereo upgrade consisted of Alpine 7822 AM/FM/CD head unit wired to
Boston Acoustic Rally RC51 speakers.  All I can say is WOW!.  What a combo.
The separate flush-mount tweeters replace any need for headrest speakers.
After  a few $$$'s are saved up I've got my eyes on a 100w amp to push a
little more power.  

Last night was our anniversary, and REQUIRED a top down cruise to a great
restaurant, followed by an even nicer top down cruise, Enya playing in the
new stereo, clear warm summer night, top-down cruising throught the Texas
hill country.  It don't get no better folks!
