When the plastic gets a little old the dash will crack, and then your radio will become loose or unstable.

That is why I don't recommend the Metra or other dash kits for these cars, as it mounts and also supports the entire weight of the front (or all the radio if a backstrap is not used) of the radio on the dash bezel.
