If you go with the JDM DD pieces or the Metra kit, there is no cutting of the dash to install a DD HU.

Sup man! Can anybody show a pic of a G with an alpine or a pioneer to see how it look!

Any major branded in-dash navi unit will be good enough for most people. It depends on what you want and how much you can pay.

Gilley is on the right track here. The Kenwood pieces are nice. Very nice. The 8019 has a 5v Pre-out. Super if you are upgrading the rest of the system.

I have an Alpine W200... You can see the build details here:

You can add the blackbird handheld nav to the system very easily.

Word on the street is that K-Wood is getting ready to release an Eclipse/Pio/Alpine killer for next year:

Built in nav, bt, 5V, T/A, per-channel eq, 24-bit wolfson DAC... 7" screen.

Not sure what your timeframe is... may want to wait.
