Double din dash kit for '04
 
I'd like a matte black double din dash kit without all the extra Metra electronics. Just the plastic panel that holds the radio and the hazards and hvac controls.

Anyone able to help me out here?

Awesome thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind. It's the gloss black though. Thank you! Last resort I suppose.

Here's the matte version

I'm assuming the price was a typo. It was )34 a couple days ago, not $340

It doesn't look matte. Does it say that somewhere on there?

Edit: I emailed the seller the other day. It's not matte.

Twiztog43 04-09-2014 09:24 PM

Hmm, well for the price, you could hit it with matte black plastic paint

Bugler 04-09-2014 09:30 PM

Yeah that's true. Does anyone know if I can modify a single din kit to hold the double? Like cut out the storage bin underneath? Would the screw holes line up properly?

I have the double din in matte black. If you get me the gloss Ill trade ya :D

lol, that's way more work than just getting the gloss double din and painting it matte black!

Let me take a picture for you in the morning to make sure its what you want. It's matte tho so I'm sure its right. But youll get a good idea

Bugler 04-10-2014 02:25 PM

Awesome thanks. I gotta get this guy to respond to a message and fix the price.

Bugler 04-10-2014 09:10 PM

So I pulled apart my dash. It's actually a double din in there! It's glossy though. If you're interested, I'd still like to trade.

Bugler 04-15-2014 12:25 PM

So my glossy double din is a bit scratched up. I wouldn't feel right trading for a matte in good condition. I'll just use the glossy till I get sick of it or find a good deal on a matte one.

has anyone tried this. does it fit good.. I'm in need of buying one of this but not sure if they fit good. thanks

Bugler 04-25-2014 06:31 AM

I've used a couple Metra kiss and that looks like the dash piece that would come with it so I assume it would work just fine.

thanks they say metra kit is better but alot more money,. will nsee thanks

Bugler 04-26-2014 05:40 AM

It's a lot more money because it comes with the electronics needed to make the upper display work. I'm sure if it's just the dash piece itself it should cost much less and be of the same quality.
