What's a good double din stereo to keep the stock look?

I'm looking for a nice double din setup to compliment my new sound system, but don't want alot of attention in my car. What's a good setup to buy or possibly a player and single din changer, if they make them.

Any recomendations?

I have yet to see anything remotely stock looking on the market. It's all bling now thanks to the tuners. The closest thing I've found was that some Alpine decks you can change the color between 512 different ones to get the best match for your dash gauges but the deck itself still has that bling-ish look to it.

Here's one of them: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...y=45&p_main=10

Nakamiki is going to be the closest thing to stock look with great sound quality.

Just checked out their website. Thankfully google corrected the speeling. It's Nakamichi(.com). Nice simple looking decks. Thanks for the tip.

I currently run the Pioneer FH-P8800

But am thinking about switching to the Nakamichi CD-700ll


The CD700ll will have a more stealth look and much better sound quality.

Also it carries a huge price tag, I'm looking for something more reasonable.

The Nakamichi CD-400 will probably be more up your alley. It can be found for around $300.

I've got the earlier model. CD-45Z. Not bling-bling at all and looks very lame from the outside. Great SQ though.
