Dash kit for 2 single din components

Anyone know of a good dash kit to install 2 single din components. I am adding a dvd player to my stereo so I will have a stereo and dvd in my dash. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why not just get a DVD, stereo. There are no dash kits that accomidate double din, you would have to modify the regular kits.

Looks like a modified Metra or Scoshe kit.

I'm not sure which kit he used, but I see along the bottom it color-matches with the lighter horizontal stripe. I thought only a GXE trim piece does this...I could be wrong. I just ordered the Sosche kit from sounddomain. It says it can be used for double DIN installation with some modification. We'll see. Whichever kit studman used, it looks good. Hopefully someone will ask him?

Studman is using the GXE kit w/o the pocket.

I have the Scosche double-din kit, but I haven't installed it yet. It gives you the option of either single din w/pocket or double din. However, if you want the best fit/finish, I'd give Daveb a call and get the GXE kit.

I ended up using the scosche kit. It is a pain to use. I had to drill the factory metal brackets so that the units would line up correctly with the trim piece. The Clarion VS735 dvd player I installed has a wider then normal face plate so I had to put the dremel tool to the scosche trim piece and grind it out so that is would fit properly. I also installed a Pioneer AVD-W6200 6.5" lcd screen to the headrest post of the passanger side seat. It came out good, just a lot of extra work.
