Replacing 5th Gen Radio...Best looking kit?

I will be picking up my 2k2 SE this weekend and I want to install my Panasonic CQ-HX2083U Head unit into it. I'm not very familiar with the 5th gen radio setup so for those of you that have replaced their deck, can you direct me to where I can get the Trim kit that looks the most professional and similar to stock as possible? Any pictures would be great too. The car is Non-Bose as well, and how will I get the Steering wheel controls to work with the new deck? Is this possible?

Thanks!
Clark

hey if you want the identical kit call Dave B. but the gxe trim piece is over $100. i have the metra dash kit from autotoys.com that is under $12 i believe. i just installed it. it was easy to install and looks/fits fine. the color is not the same as the dash but imo for $12 it cant be beat. if you want your steering wheel controls to work you need the pac swi-x adapter. i just happen to have one for sale in the f/s section. it is brand new, still in the box. im selling it for $50 shipped in the continental US. let me know if interested.

^^ Could you get me model numbers or even better direct links to those two products. I think its almost worth $100 to have it look factory. I want to replace me non bose head unit but I'm scared its going to look like junk. Anyone have pics??

i dont know the exact part for the gxe trim pieces but im sure people do here. i dont know because i tihnk its ridiculas to pay over $100 for a dash kit. id rather get a better h/u than a dash kit. my internet is not working right, but if you go to autotos.com and look under dash kits it will be there. i can get pix of my dash kit and h/u installed if you want.

Here you go, try this web site. I think this is what you are looking for. A bit expensive for me. I just replaced my Non-bose in my 03 and used the crutchfield kit and it looks good.

Nissan factory OEM replacement part for the center console. Some customers, when replacing their BOSE system, will use this assembly to install with an aftermarket head unit.
