If it is a single din, just go to any stereo store in your area and ask for the kit, it is made by Metra. EVERYONE has um.
If you are putting a double din in, go to Scosche.com
They are the only ones that make the double din kit, it is $20 shipped compared to $100 for the GXE vents.

The SEs, GLEs and some of the GXEs come stock with a Double-Din radio. But those who are changing out the stock radio to an aftermarket Single-Din one needs to fill the gap left by the stock radio. Thus, the need for the housing that fills up the space. And the GXE housing that they are talking about includes the A/C vents in the one piece. Whereas the A/C vents on the Double-din cars are its own entity.

Big Dog...Here are some pics for you to better esplain...
Here is the GXE dash kit, you can see that the factory gray line from the heater controls flows into the kit
Here is the aftermarket kit from Metra, notice the line does not flow, but stops
And that's the bottom line, because Dusty Roads said so!!

Is that top kit the one with the complete line going through possible to make it double din?
Looks like if you remove the pocket it seems it might work. I am need of a double din, two separate dins, I know scorsch makes one now.

Hey, I have seen that pic before .... just can't remember where
The pic has the molded dash kit so the lines are kinda blurred anyway. I like the look of the GXE vents better myself, but for some reason I like spending money and helping the economy!

Also, you probably could just remove the pocket to accomodate the second din.

Actually you could put a single din unit (times 2) or a double din unit into either type of kit. The GXE vents would allow the double din units or 2 single din units. The aftermarket kits might have be modified but it is possible to put that type of setup in your dash.
If I remember correctly xtantmaxima modified an aftermarket kit to accomodate an alpine cva-1005 and the dvd indash player.
