    Just wanna know your experience on this field. I would like to maintain the Old Look of my Mave, but the prices are kind of High to me. What you think?

    Personelly, I dont think they look any better or different that something you can pick up at Best Buys for much less. It takes very little modifying to get new styles to fit our bezels and when done correctly, they look just as factory as the next one.

    This sounds like a lot, but it keeps the old look alright: get a nice retro in dash mount am/fm 8 track radio and install it, get an 8 track to cassette adapter, then get the cassette to portable cd player adapter and you can play your cd's or cassettes, and keep the look of the vintage 8 track style!
