Default Aftermarket Radio Install Question?

Quick question guys...if I'm planning on putting a double din aftermarket radio in my ES - its a giant touch screen one. Looks sort of like this Giant Screen - can you tell me which of these Dash kits I should get?

1)Option 1

or

2)Option 2

Well it doesn't really matter its up to you, the first one is probably a better choice, but you don't know if the screen will fit into it and the second one is what i have, and its pretty good, it just covers up so you don't see the back. I have a 7" screen, but the body of the double din was much bigger, so i ended up shaving off some plastic from the METRA kit.

they both look the same size just different mounting. i got a 7" eclipse double din and mine looks just like the second one and i had no problems.. fit perfect.. also note when you wire it up to ground the e-brake wire or you cant use the dvd function

Thanks guys! The Radio is a Pioneer Avic D3. So, this one http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...0007_large.jpg

I'm thinking I'll just go with route two since its been mentioned twice, and is cheaper.
