Decent factory-looking stereo receiver for 986?

[ddb]

Many install modern, aftermarket, double-din units which have many advantages over the older OE unit utilizing an installation kit sold by one our forum members.

It creates a factory-like look with all the modern conveniences available.

Here's an older thread on the topic.

took a look at that thread. Does this look factory with all that blank space and different texture?


or this?


if the camera sees those glaring differences I can't imagine how non-OEM it must look in person.

I'm not knocking their stereos, I'm sure they sound great and they're very happy with it, but I'm looking for something that looks like it belongs there and the images in that thread show stereos that clearly did not come from the factory, not like the example I had yesterday.

Does anyone have an aftermarket stereo that looks like it's OEM?

Also, what's the best (not $4,000) OEM 986 stereo? I have... think it's the 201? I heard there's a CD changer stereo that has an adapter for an iphone.

Something like this would be perfect since it has a tape adapter

I will post a picture of mine tomorrow. It doesn't look OEM but it is as close as I could come up with. I am currently working on a navigation holder to add to dash that will look decent, I hope.

Still trying to figure out location of it. I currently have it mounted over speedometer, I really like it there just not sure of mounting. Other choice is under radio over cd holder. Location.
