New Metra Dash Kit??

New Metra Dash Kit??

Postby TS04 » Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:57 am

Before AI and Scosche came out, I heard about Metra being a big supplier like the two other companies. Is this a different kit?

Sorry it took a while to get some pics but work's kept me busy lately. The install on this kit was very easy, no mis-alignment or any problems with fitment, the only confusion with it was that the directions on how to put all the brackets together were useless. So it took a little longer to install just because i had to figure everything out as i went and once i had it in i realized i forgot a bracket and had to take it out and do it again.

Thanks for the upload...it looks pretty clean...but wouldn't it be better if the color was silver like the bottom A/C part? :wink:

Yeah it would look more like a factory match if it was silver, but only if it was the correct shade of silver. The Scoshe kit is silver but not a perfect match to stock color. Personally i like the black, but im sure if the silver one was exact, i would've chosen that one instead.

This is the Scosche kit, like Blazed04 said...it does not match our silver at all. Someone from the forum got this kit and posted pics already...I can't remember who. The silver is way off. I'd rather have the black in the mean time.

Okie, had to time to search and found it.
