does this fit??

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199494465708

I know it says that it doesn't fit. However, my head unit said it didn't fit when I purchased it but it did, had to get one of those kits..

Will this be the same? I actually saw it in person at bestbuy and i found it amazing. It was simple and clean. The colors were red/orange (lights) which matched perfect w/ my guages and whatnot? it didn't looked out of place w/ all that multi color stuff...

thanks in advance!

It should fit. The reason it's 6.1 inches is to allow for the extra size taken up by the trim and the CD slot. You will have to get the double DIN bezel though.

I only paid $899 for my AVIC-Z2 on eBay. Metra is the maker of my dash kit and your local Circuit City or Best Buy should have it...

CivicFreak03, did you use the same kit as DeX where you had to cut it, or is there another kit without that center piece?

There is another kit I believe, but I haven't seen it. You can surf Ebay for a while, might find it.
