Robert,

the reason most aftermarket decks stick out in the front is because the deck 
is actually built deeper than the OEM deck! i had this same problem on my 
1990 olds cutlass supreme. the dash wasn't deep enough for the deck and add 
wiring onto that, and it sticks out about 1/4 inch (after about an hour of 
working it in there). luckily my Alpine cd player in my D is an acceptable 
depth because it doesn't stick out at all (other than the normal amount that 
ANY deck will with the faceplate). i used a bracket i bought off of ebay 
which is an OEM bracket but it was cut for a single DIN deck. everything 
worked out prefectly for me - it's all about which deck you choose, it's not 
the bracket's fault.
