What do I need to instal an aftermarket single din head unit in my 2003 Grand prix? Can someone let me know the brand and model of a decent bracket kit?

You can order the mounting kit and wiring adapter from crutchfield... Wiring adapter plugs into your harness and attaches to head unit harness (hint - solder!). Lol... Is best so you don't SPLICE into wiring...
If you buy your head unit from them you get it free : )
I posted a thread in here the other day asking if the equipment I had posted was correct I haven't received the stuff yet but sonic electronix said that was correct for the 2003 gp
All of the things you could need are
Bracket kit - Don't get one from an auto parts store... the one it says fits your vehicle is a universal one which you have to assemble yourself and looks dumb.
Butt connectors, electrical tape, and soldering iron with solder (soldering is optional)
Wire strippers
Wiring harness - Plugs into your factory radio wires (in the dash) and then you have to match the colors to the wires on your new radio and either use butt connectors and splice the wires together or solder them... I've personally never had trouble splicing wires together using butt connectors.
A little time and a beverage of your choice!
It's a very simple process usually... If you need help just PM me or post back and I'm sure we could help you get it done!
