Different Deck Install Kits?

So I got a new CD player last Feb. installed right. Apparently the install place said that it was the only kit on the market at the time and was the only one to choose from for our car. Anyway, I have seen many people with different types of kits that look so much nicer since then. I want some feed back on everyone's cd install kits? And where can I pick up a decent looking one. One that has a good size spot underneeth for CD Sh*T.

Thanks
Chicohonda02

Which one do you have? From what I know, there are a total of 4 different kits. One is by Schosche, one by American International, and two by Metra.

2k2EXCOUPE will become famous soon enough
I got mine at Circuit City, I blieve its a Metra. It looks, IMHO, the best. I searched around for a while till I found one I liked because I didn't want the new kit to be a different texture or color than the factory, and I got this one and Im pleased. It was $17. But its worth it. Any questions about it PM me.

I also didn't use my pioneer HU bracket, i used the MEtra's and it looks alot more flush and factory.

metra kit

thats a link to my website. i have the metra kit, its the one that replaces the factory pocket. it matches the dash almost perfectly, only problem is, the pocket that comes with the kit is lame. its really shallow, and cd cases stick out of the pocket, but as you can see in the pic, that didn't matter to me.
the kit regularjoe has looks good, and the pocket looks big to.
my kit was $13 at a local shop, kits aren't expensive, go to a local shop, they might have a few that you can see.

I just recently purchased the Metra kit for my cd player as well and I used the pocket replacement no the one with a whole new pocket.. I wanted to keep the door on the pocket under the cd player.. Install was farely easy but the how to in the DIY section helped alot...
