Tibbsy: Don't pay attention to all those nay-sayers! I've done the exact surgery, it was easy and it looks great. Yes, you can remove the face plate from the factory CR radio. Throw the guts of the radio in the trash...it's not worth repairing. You may cut away the inner parts of the face plate (leaving a sufficient edge around the perimeter of the plate to accomodate your new radio) with a razor saw, available at any hobby shop. Take you time, the plate will tend to bend, but it's pretty tough. I had mine taken apart, measured, cut, finessed, and my new Kenwood installed in about 45 minutes...all while watching the kids. It's no big deal, and the results are very factory looking.
