Havent put it in yet, bought the kit to check it out. I plan on getting either a Pioneer AVIC-Z2, or the Pioneer AVIC-D3. The price doesnt really matter, I just need to get some measurements for the Z2, if the screen is too big then forget it.

you got the same kit i did. It will fit a 6.5" screen fine, but a 7" will need a lil modification. I'd take pictures but car is in the shop til tomorrow

So this is what mine looks like



Its the very same metra kit that just came out about a month ago. You can get it on installer.com and its the only kit made for our cars that is the double din in dash without need for modification. As said before, its made for a 6.5" screen, not a 7" screen.



Now just to let you know, this thing is not the best kit ever made. In fact, its kinda flimsy and doesn't fit perfectly flush (but its very close). Unfortunately its the only one you can get without modifying a 2nd gen one, the acura one, or the single din 1gen gs one.



And here i also put some pics of my ipod interface. Pretty neat huh? completely hidden... oh yeah

Powered by 500/5 JL amp with the old school 12 JL IB4, lol that one sub is louder than both my old 12 P1 Rockfords



And also, my DDin TS Headunit is made by a company called Valor, and while i like it a lot, i suggest you just splurg on the Pioneer AVICs or D-series or Kenwood if you have the money. These "not quite" brand name ones are nice, but the brand name ones while more expensive, really do just beat the pants off stuff like this.
