Used is your best bet for cheap, driver classifieds or ebay.


Otherwise, Riverside Infiniti.

For the '04s the Metra DD matches fairly well, unlike the 05+, so you might want to consider that if your budget is tight.

Thanks for the quick response. Does it look cheap and flimsy? It is hard to tell through pictures.

It's not as good as JDM quality, but for 03/04 they're really close. Larger local car audio shops carry the Metra kits, so you can check out out and hold it against the stock interior.

depends on who you are asking

I think it looks ok, some people hate it.

People that ride with me think the in dash navi I have is stock.

If you are on a budget do the metra, if you have money to spend and think its worth it, go for it

the right side next to the cig lighter has been fixed, I didnt pop it into place when I was installing it

^ Was the stock part that color, or were you unable to get the one to match the original? The color looks way off.

^ Yes, it can be that bad. The stock is aluminum, not aluminum colored, but actual brushed aluminum. The Metra 05-07 is smooth plastic that's aluminum colored, plus the buttons aren't the same.

To do it to save a few bucks is like getting paid to have somebody ruin the look of your car.
