As far as I know, only the OEM nav kit has the correct texture.

All aftermarket kits I've seen have a flat, differently colored appearance. People usually stick those dash sticker things to hide the hideousness.

Do you have manual climate control? If you do, then yes it SHOULD fit. BUT there is no guarantee that your head unit will fit perfectly into the opening without fabbing up some kind of trim or other aesthetic piece. I had to fab my tray a tiny bit (there is a pic in that post). Its a double din opening, it will fit a double din unit, but it might not be perfect.

I ordered my OEM dask kit Part #68260-JA00A from:

I"m going with this set up I saw on another users Altima:

I really liked it and think the customizable Nissan wallpaper would add that OEM touch.
