Noob with a few questions

Hello all, I just picked up my 2002 Trailblazer LT a few days ago and had a few questions. Are there any dedicated Trailblazer forums? I'm a car audio nut and everything will be ripped out once I get a game plan on new equipment. Well my question is where did most of you place the factory radio when replacing it with an aftermarket, if there isn't an interface to keep from having to have it still hooked up and physically in the vehicle? Also where did you buy your new dash kit from I'm going to go with a woodgrain kit just wanted to know where others went from.

hahahahh thanks for related links guess I should have nosed around first
