bought E30 vert and just rewired stereo (correctly) but with the cage the stereo sticks out half inch are there any cages which allow for a flush mount.

Sounds more like a headunit model specific problem.. IE thats how it was designed to fit.

Most aftermarket head units stick past the cage to some degree or another.

Ever seen a Nak CD-700? lol.... Its a diving board.. but it sounds very nice.

Nothing aftermarket that I know of. Would have thought 1/4" is fairly normal.

The cage should not stick out. The faceplate will, but not the cage.

What kind of radio is it? It should not stick out much more than OEM as said.
