Hacking up dashes

I thought about hacking mine when I got my car restored, but I found one of the newer radios that fits in the slot and didn't need to "hack" it. Granted, the radio was expensive and doesn't accept a CD, but it does have an auxiliary jack and reads mp3 files from a card or flash drive, so that is good enough for me.

I used to be of the opinion that no one should hack the dash, but, it is just a dash and, they don't take modern stuff, so, if it is what you want to do to get the modern radio you want, I now say go for it.
