Any ideas where to buy the Metra kit?

 

You can special order it from Circuit City for $17.99 or you can hunt it down online.

 

I am *so* glad you guys posted both of those pix....made my decision much easier! thanks guys!

 

so which are you going with? and what are the differences?

 

So the first one is a Metra?

 

yes the first is a Metra kit, part # 99-8209. I have it in my xB also. I better, I work for Metra.

 

I'm gonna go with the metra...it just looks a lot more nice to me.

 

Circuit city told me $45 for the kit...i laughed and hung up.

that extra lip on mine u see is this insert they give you. i would have used the outside cover from my pioneer deck, but i had to mangle it pretty good to fit it in my last car.

the AI would look better w/o that double lip thing going on. it is super sturdy though, and works great!

 

Any recommendations on where to buy it online?

 

Autotoys.com is a good place. Crutchfield is another place. Both Circuit City and Best Buy carry our line, should only run you like $17.99 for the kit.

 

I just got my from CC it was 17.99 plus tax. CC part number MET 998209

 

here's my modified metra kit
