The aftermarket face plates are recessed so the new deck will sit flush with the rest of the dash like the stock one did. Some stereos are sooooo thick they will still stick out but not so much as if you were to mount it to a flat piece of plastic. I have no doubt that cutting the old face plate will work but the new deck will not fit flush like if you use the after market kit. The deck I have in my brick right this minute, which is different then the one I had in there last week, fits so flush that, unless it's on, it looks kinda stock. When it is on, the lights are blue but there are no graphics, I hate that. This just gives me the info I need in a simple straight forward manner, no swimming dolphins, no race cars, no EQ graphics that don't mean anything. When I got me brick it had an aftermarket deck in the lower pocket so I didnt have the benefit of seeing a stock deck in the upper unit, mine had a pocket, but I do know that I would not change the way it looks right now for anything, except maybe a V70 R cross country.
