[2m] Installing 2M Rig in a 99 Chevy Cavalier

[WE0H]

How about in the center armrest compartment? Flip the lid back to get at 
the radio and close it up when you aren't using it. Be real good for 
parking so the radio was not visible. Can't think of anywhere else in 
the car to install a radio. There isn't much room for anything let alone 
a drink in the cup holder... You could go to a junkyard and get a new 
center council (the part by the shifter & cup holders) and cut it to 
make a radio fit where the cup holders are now. When it comes time to 
sell the car, put the original center council back in.
