Just got it yesterday. I checked to see if the colors matched up and to my eye they did. What do you guys think ?

Well it arrived today! 
The build quality is solid, its not flimsy plastic like some dash kits tend to be. I don't have any idea on fitment yet, but if its anything like the build quality, I'm sure it'll be just fine. My only gripe is that the color is pretty off...it has a greenish/yellowish tint to it rather then a purplish/greyish tint like OEM, so i'll definitely have to do some color matching. Overall I'd give it a 8/10. Looks like its from Japan the bag it came in had Japanese writing all over it.

I did a single din install almost two years ago but had to fabricate mine because this little gem wasn't available at the time. Here is my thread.....

You will likely want to start from the last page and go back, as the majority of the beginning of the thread was me searching for a kit that was worth a crap. there are lots of pics, but unfortunately I didn't realize until late in the thread that I could post the actual pics so many of the pics are posted as links (sorry).
Here is a pic of mine on the workbench, with the cd changer broken down and ready to tuck behind the display.........

So just to get it right. I would still have to have the stock cd changer connected and tucked away for my hvac to still work. So I would have to tap into the power lines that are connected to the cd changer to get power for the new radio......
