I am trying to decide whether to rebuild my dash with a radio cut-out or a blank plate. I do not want a modern looking head unit in the dash. I know I can get a vintage look with modern internal tech, but then why not just hide something?
What does the tribe think? |

Probably the most agonizing decision I made on my build and I went back and forth so many times. I just couldn't justify a vintage radio that, like Ian said, would sound like a vintage radio. I leaned heavily toward the vintage style radios and mulled over a hidden stealth setup. I ruled that out only because to me, the dash doesn't look complete without a radio in place. In the end, I went with a new Blaupunkt with understated styling compared to most modern radios. It looks better than I expected in the dash and I kind of like it. It in no way would be mistaken for vintage though. All this to say, I have no opinion other than it's just one of those personal choices we have to make.
