Costco has a sale on the Garmin Nuvi 650 for $300.

It's not in dash but still a nice navigator. I don't know how you would mount it if you live in California though, because it's against the law to stick anything to the windshield.

You may be able to mount the Nuvi or any other portable GPS system in the OEM navi compartment. That's where I have my Garmin 2720 in my sedan.
In my coupe, I have a Kenwood DDX7017 with the Garmin made GPS add on module. I like the garmin units and the interface is the same for both of mine. IMO, Garmin is the best GPS on the market, but others will disagree.
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.

I would get the Alpine IVA-W205 and the Blackbird if I didn't already have the stock navi (matter of fact, I might get it anyway)... I like it because it's not like some of the Pioneer decks I've seen that have one slot for DVD Navi and CD/DVD player (AVIC-D3 if I'm not mistaken). But that's just me, and I've always been partial to Alpine.

hmm sounds good, thanks for all the suggestions, but the only thing i fear is that there might be a lot of cutting around the dash involved with the in dash? Also the dealer told me that if my car didnt come w/ a navi..there's no way i can add on the factory navi on.. is this possible? or can i just get all the wires, have someone wire it then install a factory navi?

If your car doesn't have factory navi, it's not a simple task to install it. Very few have done so. It's easier to go with a DD HU that has navi or get the pop up screen that goes in the navi location at www.mp3car.com (in the store) and get a Garmin GVN 52 or GVN 53 to connect to it.
If you go with the JDM DD pieces or the Metra kit, there is no cutting of the dash to install a DD HU.
