Double DIN Dash Kit

I recently ordered a Pioneer AVIC for the Screw. I was wondering what brand preference you all had for double DIN dash kits, if any? Does it matter? will one stick out more than the others? Is one better quality than others? Does one look more OEM than others? etc. Thanks


*edit- if you ordered it online, a link to it, or the site, would be great!

You know, never thought about that. Best Buy just used the one they had. Looks good, OEM enough for me.

Ummm not to try and argue but I have installed countless stereos in vehicles and always use the Metra kits. Never once had a single issue with any of them. I've got the Metra in my truck w/ my double din JVC and have installed 6 others in F-150's w/ double dins as well. Never a problem.

Why do you feel they are crap? Did you get a crappy one? I'm just curious about a statement like that when the majority of companies and site out there, provide the Metra kit with all their sales.

the instructions are a absolute joke, i had experiences with other metra install kits and 100% satisfied. the spacers they include are pretty cheezy too.
