Metra Dash Kit?? 05 Civic EX SE
I have been searching far and wide, and everytime I think I know what I have to get, I get more confused. I got a Metra 99-7865 for my AVIC-D3 but the installer says its not going to work. I called Metra and they told me to get the 99-9999. From what I've seen, it looks like there needs to be some modifications if I get the 99-9999. For the people that went through the same situation I was in, what kits have you guys used, whether be Scocshe, American International or Metra?

ive always used metra kits, but i didnt think you needed a kit at all to put a double din in the SE models. There was a double DIN kit for non SE's that i used to cut the middle divider line out of to fill in the gaps on the sides. this is the 99-7865 is for the NON SE dash:
the 99-9999 DEFINATELY WONT work...
the SE's dash doesnt have that fat upper right corner to fill in since it already has a double DIN from the factory. i personally think you dont need a kit at all.

That is the kit I have. The installer says something about getting a kit with brackets that will attach to sides. As you can see, I don't know crap about dash kits. I just want this AVIC-D3 to not have a gap around the sides of it. (There is a gap about a mm's between the AVIC-D3 and the sides of the dash.

It's already mounted, but you know how some people are (me included) are **** about how things go. I'll try to post a pic to show you what I mean.
I also got a trim on ebay that might work, only 12 dollars, I'll post up a pic after work to show you and you guys can let me know if it will work.
