Default Double DIN faceplate for GS

I know l-tunedparts carries a double DIN faceplate kit and Autotoys.com has the single DIN kit. I remember seeing a thread back then where another online store had a D-DIN kit that looked better than the one from l-tunedparts for about $30. I searched a few times but I can't seem to locate that thread nor can I remember the store name. Can anyone help me out?

Do you have any pics of the install? I'm assuming this kit doesn't have the trim around the opening right?

I just got mine the other day form Gordon @ Carson. Never mind that one of the clips was broken on the faceplate (it was damaged in shipping), but THIS THING IS AWESOME. I haven't ever seen a kit that is this well built - most of them are plastic with about a million holes in them to be flexible to different car models. This one has METAL brackets, and the faceplate match is like FACTORY. I was actually shocked when I opened it. It will fit right in with no problems, it has Toyota part numbers and everything just like factory parts.
Highly recommended for double-din.
Jerry.

Based on my previous reply, I don't see how any other one could possibly look better than the one from Carson. If you really think so, clue me in. Maybe it's because the pictures don't really do them justice.

Cant "look" better than carson unless the kit matches the grey on the climate controls. The other kits are ABS plastic and well....look like black abs plastic.
