2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

I bought the Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS 7" receiver to replace my Single-Din stock radio. Can anyone suggest a good double-din kit that would fit the stereo?

I found this one, but not sure if it would fit the 7"

If you have manual climate control this OEM Part will fit: 68260-9HA1A

it's expensive, but it's a guaranteed way to get the stock look. this is what it looks like installed:

That's way too much money I wanted to spend on a dash kit. I know there's some out there for under $50 and they're just as good, but I need to know if it will fit a 7" stereo. Grr! Guess I will just take it to an installer place and have them install it with the purchase of a dash kit..although I wanted to do this myself.

I used that exact same kit to install a single din Nakamichi 6 disc changer, using the storage insert. I ordered mine with a couple harnesses for the unit & the radio. I think it'll work with a double din unit. I phoned woofersetc.com where I bought the changer to confirm it would fit & the harnesses were right. The finish is not an exact match to factory dash, but close enough for me. I'll probably end up covering it anyways with carbon fiber sheet, but it would have been a lot easier before the install.

I can live with the finish difference.

I decided to just purchase the dash kit from Crutchfield, which got excellent ratings. Someone used it to install a 7" radio, so I should be fine. I'll take a pic soon.
