sorry, been busy messing with the x920bt. i guess im not as technology inclined as i used to be. this thing has been scratching my head most of the time! :icon18:

anywho..that trim didnt work, when i cut it and put it in, i realized the clips face the wrong way. i may go to another shop and ask if they have something similar. the clips on the plastic piece i got that i posted above clip INWARDS. in order for it to attach to anything, the clips need to clip OUTWARDS

So I was at All Star Sound today just hanging out with the guys over there and asked about the trim piece they used for my head-unit that all of you are curious about and you guys are not going to like their response… “It’s a trade secret.”

I guess you guys will have to drop by All Star Sound if you want the look of my install =P

metra kit arrived today. sadly mostly disappointed with the color of the plastic. not a 100% match. big woop. however, i am experimenting with some black spray cans. started with rustolium flat black. will post pics soon.

Old thread.. But i needed to post for people searching for this like me who couldn't find a definitive answer.

I ordered both the Metra and the Scosche and found the Metra to be better color match to the original plastics and looks nicer, but has a larger opening and requires the use of a trim ring that is included. The double din sits more inward/regressed into the dash than on the Scosche.

The Scosche is a better fit in terms that the opening is not as big and fits double dins precisely (doesn’t require trim ring), but the plastics are a glossy black color that don’t match the rest of the car and looks cheap. The double din sits flush with the front face of the kit.
