dash kit question

sonic370 · 06-20-2010, 06:08 PM

Starting to change out system so where is the best place to get the dash kit.
and do i really need it. the size will be the double din.

i would like to keep the stock look as close as i can. hate that hard plastic look
of most after market kits.

I normally get my dash kits from Crutchfield, they have a pretty large selection.

if you're getting a double din you wont need a dash kit.

thezstore.com has them too if you're planning on getting single din.

Yes if you are installing a pioneer double din you will need it if you are installing a alpine clarion or kenwood double din you will not need the dash kit. The only reason you would need that is to cover the gap around the pioneer.

If you are doing a single din that you will need the kit.

Check ebay for the best price, crutchfield is good but pricey.

mine is a pioneer dd and just used the factory trim. i did make the gasket around the hu to close the gap but it's not hard to do. not worth $30 imo.
