Best Buy is stupid as far as car audio is concerned. I personally wouldn't trust their car fit guide. You'll need a dash kit to install it obviously, but it should fit just like any other aftermarket head unit.

Seems like a decent way to go on a tight budget. Don't expect the free speakers to be the greatest in the world, but they might be ok. If the headunit has all of the features you want, then go for it.

Eh, i liked the factory front speakers honestly, at least considering that they were factory speakers. They aren't bad at all. Me personally, I think replacing them with anything other than component speakers is a waste. You have factory components, why "upgrade" to a cheap 3-way coaxial?

I'd try to find that headunit without the free speakers to see if you can get it cheaper, and then save up a little money and buy component speakers for the front. And just FYI, if you install those free speakers without an aftermarket amp, they'll most likely be quieter than factory just like the rears were, and for the same reason.

To install what, the amp? You'll need a wiring kit like linked earlier, and depending on what all you're installing, you may need a couple extra things...
