agreed, i have used both the replacement Double din mounting and the JDM, JDM is much cleaner and matches the interior perfect. Also, if you want to, there is a way to move the headunit back a little and it looks more factory and all the opening functions still work. Nice headunit, i have the same one

I ordered one from carson toyota for $52, the site didn't specify if it was in stock or if it would ship from japan, but I got it in one week after ordering.. Although I haven't bought a deck yet, still saving up for it.

are you happy with the alpine? anything you don't like about it? I am still undecided between a pioneer, alpine, or eclipse. Though I have been leaning towards the eclipse recently.
