ok so when i first bought my car it came with a after market radio/cd play so i have never really seen the stock radio. Well i have in a friends 98 200sx and then now on ebay. Well i see the stock radio rarely. I just want to say i think it looks sexy with the stock look.

i dont care its damn sexy

I was on a tight budget, so I kept my stock radio. But, I added a Radio Shack 7 band equalizer/40 watt amp in the bay under it. 40 watts for about $25, plus it has a front input for a CD/MP3/iPod, etc. And cute little dancing lights.

mine came with a tape player in my 97' so i had to upgrade i'd definitly go with a 98 cd player cause it looks classy and stylish

The 2000 Altima CD player, is even better.
