Aftermarket Deck Install

I installed my aftermarket CD deck. Works and sounds great. Only problem I have, is that the CD deck is longer than the factory deck. So now the deck sits on a angle facing the passanger. Not by much, Maybe a 1\8 of a inch....if that, but enough to annoy me and look crappy!! Any suggestion?

There is a piece back there that you can cut out or un bolt. that will give you more room.
Others will have a better explanation I am sure.

Did you use an adapter kit? If so, did you use the proper offset? There is an "L" shaped bracket in the back that can be removed/cut off to give you more room. If you're just using a standard DIN sized cd player, you shouldn't have to remove it tho. Did you put all the bolts in to secure the radio to the dash?
