Default Double DIN dash kit?

Hey, I'm looking for any place that sells a double DIN dash kit for the SC. i've seen some clean setups, and as I'm about to purchase a Pioneer AVIC-D3, I need something to look somewhat stock and clean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Freddy

so how would I go about making a custom double din kit? abs plastic? any special molding process or prepping process? I have the time to make it, as I've made my own fiberglass and bondo gauge pod wrapped in suede, but I've never made anything in plastic.

im pretty sure its custom..they dont have anything for our cars..but yea..make it out of abs plastic. no special molding required, unless you want to. you can make it look as fancy as you want. its all just cutting and fitting every thing.

I have a half DIN slot that would cover the hole. Here's a hint why I wont be needing it. Hit me up via PM.

Thanks.

heres a few pics of my avic-d3 install i did today at work, i made the trim peace in about 30mins with some 1/4" mdf and a rotozip. imma remake it since theres a small gap at the bottom and use the right paint. not bad for 30mins imo

I think I'll go this route, as I have some extra plastic lying around, and I can definitely make something useful out of it.
