When I bought my HU, it came with an American International kit and it looked nothing like the one in the pic above. I went a bought a Metra kit instead - it was highly recommended over all others.

I got mine off eBay. I love the design, but it was impossible to track down from retailers.

This is American International, but not the guy I bought from. http://cgi.ebay.com/BEST-KITS-2006-N...item1e5df7c90a

I switched to American International because I heard the Metra kit was having rubbing problems with my HU.

for the metra..if you got a double din, depending on your headunit, you may have to do some dremeling so the headunit can open and close properly. I have the pioneer p4200dvd and I had to dremel

I've also got the Metra in my '08, with a Kenwood full-size touch screen. The fit is perfect, and the mounting is very solid.

This is why I went with the American International. It looks like Metra works for the majority though.

I have a Pioneer dual din that folds down and I do remember having to sand the bottom piece of the Metra a little bit now that I think about it.
