When I ordered my new stereo from Crutchfield they included a decent dash kit but the pocket was useless. After reading good things about Scosche having a bigger pocket and better fit I bought one and installed it. The first one (Metra) actually fit better eventhough the pocket was smaller. Now I'd like to replace it but the problem is, I broke it taking it out! Does anyone know of a good dash kit that fits well and has a usable pocket BESIDES the Scosche?

I used to manage an install shop. I've tried just about every kit out there for our trucks. I have the Metra in now. The pocket might be a little smaller, but it holds the deck better than any other kit I've found. Just my .02 worth.

I called Crutchfield and told them what happened. They're sending me a new Metra kit for free + shipping. Should be here Wednesday. Say what you want about their prices but Crutchfield customer service can't be beat!

I have the Crutchfield kit too. Does anyone have any pics of other install kits in their dash?
