Default Double DIN version dash kit

I recently got this;



I have been looking for a 350z double DIN version dash kit that will curve to fit the concave shape of the 350z's dash. So far all the dash kits I have found are flat, or are made for 2 single din head units like this;
.
Does anyone here know where to get a kit for a radio like mine? I am using this as my head unit, so it's mounted in the bottom spot where the factory radio was.

The metra kit I got says to mount a double Din, you have to cut out the center bar. On mine, you'd have to cut out the pocket underneath too. Bust out the dremel!

Thank you for your help. Is the metra kit curved to fit the 350z dash? I guess I can use a dremel, i just want it to look clean.

Do you have an '06? I had an '05 kit in mine, and it looked like crap, but the metra '06 kit is much better. Just make sure you order the right one. It doesn't look bad at all.

The metra kit is what you want; you just have to cut the bar. It's in the instructions for the kit.

I have a 2004 base model. I saw a metra kit for sale at Circuit City. I'll try to swing by there and see how it will look. I still have not been able to find a double DIN kit so I think I'll just have to modify that metra kit.

The Metra kit for an '06 (99-7602) requires no cutting. It comes as a DoubleDin and SingleDin in one kit.
Contact Mike (mlg9770) for kit pricing.

Ok I bought the install kit from Circuit City and installed the DVD player. I had to cut the center bar out, but it was easy. I'm still waiting for my Infinity Basslink to come in the mail. I paid $385.99 for the head unit from here

Thats a really nice looking non name brand deck. I just wish they had the ability to link with an ipod though.
