You can always take out the A/c, and use an aftermarket radio. Thats how i fabbed mine up to fit

thats what i was thinking....but i think he means that if you take out the a/c inside the car you can add a dvd screen or something....but i was talking about a front mount intercooler...and i won't be able to have a/c because of how my downpipe is going...
