2005+ Double Din Dash Kit

NastyFX4 · February 16th, 2009, 01:13 AM

What's the best kit out there? I've got some generic, I think it's American International, dash kit that doesn't fit very well. The top is recessed while the bottom is flush. The brackets are maxed out in their adjustment so it's not a matter of tweaking the brackets. Does anyone have a recommendation for a GOOD dash kit?

I had the same problem man...

and I tried every which way.. finally said to hell with it and stopped worrying about it.

A long time ago on Mustang Forums I remember a place was selling high quality dash kits for every make of car. Someone had posted about it and it looked really good and fit perfectly. I wish I could remember the damn name. I think the kits were around $30 vs $10-15 which I don't really care. I just want it to fit decent. I've got a bunch of spacers and chit just to get it as good as I've got it.

Using a metra in mine with perfect fitment, no gapping what so ever..

My current American Int'l fits fine. I would check into exchanging it for another if possible...the plastic may be warped. I've had to have Crutchfield mail out another dash kit before for just that same issue. Metra and Scosche are the only other kits that I know of.

I ordered the Pioneer I-Pod control for it last night so maybe I'll feel frisky and order another dash kit too.

I also have a metra in my car with no complaints.

warrior86 · February 18th, 2009, 01:55 AM

Metra 99-5807
