Difference Between Scosche and Metra Dash Kits?

G Fo12ce · 10-29-2010, 09:40 AM

Scosche and Metra make a lot of double din trim peices like that. The problem for everyone is if you don't have access to them all to try different ones out you have to just get the dash kit.

Imperial if it's not too much trouble maybe you can ask your installer if he remembers which one it was. That way others with Pioneers and base/sport/Nismo cars can buy one instead of the Metra kit.

Thanks again for the pic

You're welcome and will do... I'll get back to you guys as soon as I get the info but if anyone can't bear to wait, you can Google/Yelp All Star Sound in Long Beach.

I would like to know as well, after doing my install I feel the Metra kit is crappy in terms if fit. I had to oval out all the screw holes with a dremmel and it still would not align right after several tries of reattaching the radio bracket different ways to try to help. In fact the fit was bad enough that it broke off one of the little rubber/plastic guide pins on top from too much pressure. It looks fine after you get it on but I would say the fit sucks being that you have to dikc with it so much.

Imperial, do you remeber who you delt with, or who did the install at All Star? I may be willing to go there just to remount the HU with the stock panel if it's not too much. LB isn't too far.

Gah... this is disappointing... I don't want to have issues when I fit mine in. :-/

Hey guys, sorry for not getting back sooner, I've been busy with other things concerning my Nismo (just got sponsored by Fujita Air) and haven't been able to drop by All Star Sound yet. For anyone local I would tell you, do not to hesistate dropping by their shop... the guys there are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The owners are brothers John and Jay, just tell them Rynil (Pronounced Rye-Nil... that's me) sent you and they'll take care of you. My intaller's name was Kay and he's their best guy. I hope this helps =)

Thanks Imperial, I think I'm probably going to go that route in the near future.
