Im going to put in a double din head unit and wanted to know which mounting kits people are using. I don't want to install one that looks like crap.

Once again I did search but did not have time to sort through the 10 pages you found. I wanted new thoughts and experiences on it. These responses from forum members about searching are getting really old and seem to go against the community feel of the forums. If you do not want to contribute help to a certain thread than don't respond.

Also thanks to everyone who did respond with helpful information. I appreciate your community spirit.
