crown or marquis... they are both "panther" chassis, im curious with that specific kit, does the pocket go above the unit or below when its installed. I'd like to try and use one of those smaller 5" single din indash media units, but it hands below the unit when you install it just a bit and the way the vic dash is, i don't think itll work

On mine the pocket is above. 03 Grand Marquis. Not much space behind the cd player though. Kind of have to stuff it in there.

i believe 03 is when they changed the ac ducting behind the radio to be a true 2 din, 98-02 have the ac ducting hanging down in the top part of the back of the opening, preventing a true 2 din from being used
