I wouldn't be so sure about that. I'm not doing the job myself, but the folks who are doing it will custom fit it to make it look as stock as possible (ie custom faceplate, ect). I ended up going with a Clarion head unit. This is the model:

When all was said and done, I just couldn't justify trying to rehash a 12 year old piece of audio equipment, even if it is made by Nakamichi. That and I really miss being able to swap out discs without having to pull my car over and open the trunk. Yeah, having 12 discs at once did reduce the need, but there are still times where I want to listen to more than just whatever I have in the magazine. In addition, it will be nice to have a player that doesn't skip at every other bump in the road, or one that doesn't mind reading through a disc with a couple of scratches on it. Even if I replaced the changer with a refurb or one of the changers from the ES300 it would still have these issues. I will put up with the slight blemish in my dash to gain the functionality of a nice brand new aftermarket deck.
