Yeah, and note that the Metra kit fit and surface finish is not too good a match.

Go to Ron at Street Effectz and have him make one for you with a matching laminate cover - either black or wood depending on your interior trim.

also sanding the metra kit down w/ different grades of sand paper helps match the OEM finish as well.
