Where can I buy 5th gen Stereo Headunit -Mounting Kit- From???

Should I just buy from like best buy or circuit city or any online sites to buy it from? Are they all the same quality?

Thanks

3 choices:
1. Standard black plastic (aka the Crutchfield kit, also bought at local stores)
2. Scosche kit, color matched (I've only seen available online)
3. 2000 GXE double din kit with pocket (available at local dealer or Dave B. - daveb@mail.adpub.com).
The first two are cheap, ~$20, the last is more like $120, but well worth it because it is by far the nicest looking, best fitting, and perfectly matched (made by Nissan after all). I've tried all three, and that's my offical evaluation.
I have pics of the first one (black one) and the Nissan one here on my website. Pic 19 is the black kit, 21 and 22 are the Nissan one.

I personally say go with number 3. The only time I would go with number 1 or 2 is if you buy a dash kit to cover it up.

I have some pics of number 2. Email me if you want to see them. The color matches pretty good but it is a PITA.

I bought everything from www.sounddomain.com

Anywhere. Local shop, or Crutchfield - harness link.

Since you did the FM modulation, you already have the antenna adapter, so no need for that

Also, if you want to use the factory steering wheel controls, you'll need this: SWI-X

Click here for some pics of the Scosche.

Only modification i did was use superglue for the bottom pocket to make it flush with the opening. If you don't do this the pocket won't fit properly and will look cheezy.
