repost

I know this doesn't belong here but my last post got swept under the rug. How many people have replaced there factory HU with a new aftermarket one? I want to change mine but can't find a good installation kit online. I've heard of the American industial,scoche and metra but which one is the best and where can I order one. I live in Germany so it has to be online. I would like to keep the storage slot with the door but it is not manditory. Also does anybody have pics of there own. Thanks in advance for everybodies help. This sight has been a life saver more than once.

Moderator Edit: Renamed title of thread. Moved to I.C.E. (the appropriate section for this thread).

my best buy kit has a big bend along the bottom. and it doesn't match the texture of the dash at all. i don't think it's a good kit at all, but i'm going to get my $15 out of it.

i am unhappy with the scoche (or however it is spelled) kit myself. i could not get it to fit in right, one corner overlaps the rest of the dash, and it has a little rattle to it too. so i'd try a different one, imo.

The Best Buy Kit definately has the best fit, although it may not match the dash all too good.

The Metra Turbo Kit (Just the top piece to keep the OEM pocket) Sucks

I guess the Metra kit with the pocket would fit and look good cause they at least try to match the factory color.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
