Head Unit Choice...what would you do?

Ok, i have a decision that i have to make, but havent been able to. I want to change out the head unit that i currently have in the GS4. Now right now, i have the KVT 911dvd that i pulled out of the camry before i sold it. but i like the stock look of the current nak head unit. ive been trying to find the nav unit for the Lex GS, but thats damn near impossible (at least to find it complete). the other day i found someone that has a completed unit localy but wants like $1500 for all of it including NAV-Tv. The only thing that i am torn about is that the Lex uses a much wider head unit, so the normal heads dont fit flush with the center console. I also like the look and functionality that you get with the stock unit, and how everything matches. seriously, this is something that i have been debating since i bought the car in sept. everyones been telling me, "go for it you love that radio, and you paid so much for it." i need advice. any advice is greatly appreciated. post any picture of the aftermarket heads installed if you got em.

Can i have the name and # of the person that has the unit for $1500?

I decided to do the retrofit because I like the clean look and i can still integreate DVD on the screen.....the best of both worlds.....

thanx for moving the thread, im a idiot. as to the number, if i dont decide to go that route, ill gladly supply the number and name. but right now, im trying to make up my mind. the check i get from Uncle Sam will be going to pay for either that, or the install and custom mount of the KVT. Ill keep you posted.
