Question Head units?

What head units look good in the PT? If some of you guys have put in new head units could you take a pic and post it?
I would like to get an cd/Mp3 player but really do not want to mess up the looks of the dash.
Thanks
Kevin

...And here it is open. Under is a Boss 2500 DVD, MP3, CD player. It fit perfect in that little compartment at bottom of dash!

Could you show more of the dash. That is the unit I am looking at. But I am thinking that an after market will not "look" right.
With corners not rounded.
Thanks
Kevin

I have been thinking about the JVC Kameleon cd/tuner I do not believe it has MP3 capability does it does look very nice. I would also look at the Eclipse line of decks. They look great too.

I have the Kameleon, sorry no pic right now. I'll get one tomorrow and email ya. It is not MP3 capable, but I like the look. Especially when its off or the flat face. It slapped right in and sounds good. The bass output is amazing, maybe a bit excessive. Im running a 6 inch powered sub with it so it kicks alot.
