Calling all G35 05+ Owners With Navi That Have Aftermarket HU's

Requesting pictures please, I'm trying to decide which one to get. Since I have the stock navigation, I wonder what it'll look like with both screens. Seems like everyone who went aftermarket didn't have the stock navigation.

Yes. Its a JDM Double Din kit. You can purchase it from your local Infiniti dealership. They also sell a cheap Metrakit for the double din set up. I recommend spending the extra bucks for the JDM instead of the Metrakit. I attached some pictures.The first picture is the JDM and the second one is the Metrakit. The Metrakit has ugly *****.

JDM DD kit from eBay is about $360.
Metra kit - $180.

And I wouldn't say the Metra kit has ugly *****, because it doesn't have ***** just spongy grey buttons.

I meant did you add anything around the HU or is that how it comes? Usually there are gaps when installing an aftermarket HU.

Does the stock navigation work? I want to do the same thing except just get the Alpine double din DVD player only and use my stock nav. I was wondering if my nav would still work?
