i had this one. Unless you have a flip out DVD player or are going to mod it to fit a screen...i dont think its worth it. It will not allow you to have the trim piece of the HU on which makes it look a bit diff and the fitment is also extremely tight. Everytime i needed to change cd's in my old HU i had to pull it down rather then just push the button. really a PITA. I have the metra and i like it. not issues at all.

You also had someone who took the time to align the hu in the dash kit properly. I personally prefer the GXE kit. Either one can look bad w/o the proper time invested.

So instead of just ripping someone's dash kit, why don't you do something helpful like post where you purchased yours?
