I'll give you help on buying a Metra kit....don't.

I had dozens in stock and ended up selling them dirt cheap because they were of such poor quality.

I don't remember the price now. I just know that I had tons of complaints about them and you can see and feel the difference between them and the JDM kits.

If you don't wanna spend a bunch of money then the metra kit is fine.

Ive had mine for just under 3 years and its holding up fine. All the buttons work and the numbers and lettering are all still there.

I used the $200 I saved and bought some usher mids.

Metra may not be that great quality, but there's a huge difference in price. $150 as compared to $320 or so.
