cd player installation kit

I own a Honda Civic 2001

Which is better? These are from ebay, which is cheaper.
-American International HON-K809 - car stereo installation kit civic 2001
-Scosche Model HA1567B

I not sure how good or reliable are those installation kit. Not sure if i should go to local bestbuy and get it.

I not sure do i need to buy a double din dash kit and installation kit or jsut installation kit itself:

darklegacy540 is on a distinguished road
I've never really had any experience with American international but I do know that scoche is definitely not the way to go.. I've always used Metra parts myself but you could go ahead and give it a try? There are two different types available for our cars.. one where you keep the door pocket.. I'd like to keep the pocket because I like the way it looks BUT with the stock radio. When you add an aftermarket HU and keep the door pocket.. it looks kind of weird. It looks a lot cleaner when you just get the double din kit where it comes with the pocket (no door).. my two cents

are you looking for a double din kit?? or a single din kit??

I have the metra single din kit, which allows you to keep the factory pocket below. Its much nicer than the other single din kits which replaces the pocket below the radio.
