Personally I think the Metra kit is pretty shitty based on the pics I have seen. The bottom lip sticks out nearly a 1/4" because of their design. From a company like them, and a car like ours, I would expect it to at least sit flush with the trim.
Fair enough but thats probably 10 times as much as the metra kit (I dont know the exact price of the metra kit and don't feel like checking). Sure it can't be sold as cheap as one that is mass produced. I would probably still buy it if the head unit was on top and it was still flush at the bottom. But thats just my opinion on what I think looks best.
