I think you have 3 options here:

1. Slice the dash
2. Suspend the CD player below the dash. It won't look that great, but it will be within reach, and you wont have to cut the dash. Trying to reach in the glovebox everytime you want to change CD's would be a pain unless you get a CD changer hooked up.
3. I have seen some trucks with a wooden panel inside the glovebox which they mounted their CD players in. It works OK, but it takes up your glovebox space. It might be bearable if you get a remote controlled CD player, but i dunno if the remote will be able to go through the glovebox door.

I put a Sony CD player im my dash, and thankfully it was already sliced before i got it. Works and looks great
