Do you have the auto climate controls or manual? The options available last time I checked are linked in the FAQ in my signature.

I have the Metra kit, and the texture doesn't match the dash (and it shouldn't be $65 unless they've come out with something new). Check the FAQ, it should have a link to the Nissan part which matches the texture. I don't remember which members posted their installs, but there are a few with the Nissan kit. I'll try to search them out...

This is the kit you will want if you have manual climate controls. Best looking one out there. Unfortunately for those of us with auto climate controls, this isn't an option since it is molded specifically to the manual controls.

Does it come with the "tray" or "slot" trim if I want to mount a single Din in there? It does look effing amazing...

I've never ordered that particular model, so I'm not sure. That is actually a good question. Hopefully someone who performed that mod can answer the question better. Plus, that part should be around $30 or so with shipping - cheaper still if you order direct from the dealer.

Just ordered it and the head unit from Crutchfield. Good thing with Crutchfield is they give you another (cheap) kit that has the tray to fill in for the single din. Im hoping I can use the Nissan double and use that tray to fill in the gap.
