So I have an issue. I just recieved the Metra double din kit whick I ordered from www.autotoys.com.(never order from them by the way). They claimed the Metra kit was black and I even asked them why it looks grayish and they said its black. I got it today and its def not black and Im going to have to piant it. But the damn AC controls are grey too. I cant paint that because of the control art on it. I checked ebay and the black one is there with black ac controls. For some reason I didnt see that there when I was looking before I purchased from autotoys.(autotoys doesnt do refunds) ANy Ideas guys? I really dont wanna be stuck with some damn grey buttons

 

I can't recall seeing any metra kit with black buttons. I checked my entire collection of DDin installs that have been posted here, they're all grey. The only reason they look more black is because they just photoshopped the grey one darker to show what the black one looks like.

JDM kits are the only ones I've seen with black buttons.

And while most sellers seem to be selling around $200 for the Metra in black on eBay, it's currently with free shipping.

 

But if you look on ebay they have the actual black ones with black buttons. Your saying thats all photo shopped? Is there a way I can just get the AC part seperate. Order that somewhere black? Those grey buttons will look ugly as hell

 

I looked on eBay, the only photos I saw were the ones that show the kit and it's components in this photo:


Which is this photo, photoshopped:


Which is also the same reason the tan kit's buttons look tan:

 

Ohhh OK I get it... so Im screwed with the Grey buttons now???

 

Unless you get creative with stencils and paint, yes.

 

Thanks a lot man. you really helped

 

why dont you just sell it and get the oem dd. i heard metra suck and not good at all. the bottom is going to break after a while

 

I've never heard of them breaking. Dont know bout that one. OEM. That's the JDM one? I couldn't find that at the time and I want this upgrade NOW

 

yea the jdm one. its hard to come by them. but i got mines at ebay and glad i didnt get the metra one... get the upgrade and you wont regret it
