Ok if anyone knows how to do this its probably kiki or nola...

This is a question in theory and not in application, at least not yet...
I want to fit a Double Din HU, SUCH AS A Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD
Touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3 and all that jazz into a opening for like a single DIN.... Now here is an interior shot of what the Camry looks like...

Now that is with a navigation system, mine wont have the Navi, but still i would think that if they can fit a navigation system in there then i should be able to put a double din 7 inch hu in there. I know i could probably mod the dash and fiberglass it or something... Crutchfield says no go, only because they prolly dont have or make a dash kit for that kind of installation, my idea is to just fabricate one or pay someone to fab it for me...

What do u guys think....
Oh yea this might help a lil bit here is a pic of the HU

Also it looks like the 2006 Model Camry could fit one no problem so i dont see the problem. What i think is that they havnt made a dash kit for it yet so therefore i should just wait... Who knows, The only difference in the 2 stereos between the 06' and 07' models is that the HU is slightly a curved bezel where as the 06' has a strait lines so what im thinking is that it would fit perfectly but there would be just a small gap where it is curved.
