Default Alpine TME-M760 in factory screen location?

Okay, I know I've seen *tons* of people on this board install the M760 in the stock location, but since the search function is down I can't find them. (Grr...) Can people post some pics of their M760 install in the factory location?

Here's my deal: I have a 2004 350Z without nav, which apparently has a differently shaped cubby hole than the 2003 models. My installer could not figure out a clean way to do the install in the 2004 cubby hole without disassembling the lcd screen out of it's plastic case. I don't want to do this, so I'm considering picking up a 2003 model cubby hole assembly and putting that in my car. From the pics I've seen, people have put the M760 lcd unit in the 2003 cubby hole without needing to disassemble the lcd unit at all.

Does this sound about right? And I'm only assuming the 2003 cubby hole will mount in a 2004 car with no problems. I seem to recall someone mentioning it previously, but once again... I can't search to find it.

Note this for a 2003. I don't think this will work in a 2004.

Thanks so much! I'll bookmark it now, too.

Now I've just got to dig up the post where the guy installed an 03 cubby hole in his 04 Z.

Here's a pic. I have an '03. No problem fitting the screen in the cubby hole. Do NOT disassemble the screen. You shouldn't have to.

I did have to make a very minor modification to the cubby hole and trim the rubber floor lining of the cubby, but that's it--NOT a big deal at all. I haven't seen an '04 install, so I can't comment there.

Ahhh . . . so here's what the deal is with that . . . just place a piece of smoked plexiglass behind the trim panel of the aftermarket stereo 350Z install kit (where the slot is for CD's or whatever). Then, I ordered (from Courtesy Nissan) the factory emblem that goes on the rear driver's side of the vehicle (on the hatch lid). It fits in that space perfectly IMHO.
