Wow.. That paint really makes those ugly buttons POP. I think the JDM button area costs more than the whole Metra kit. Besides the buttons, your interior looks good. I like the wood arm pulls.

I found my JDM on here used for 275. You might want to try and sell your Metra on here and find a JDM.

I actually did just what you are saying. The ONLY modifications I had to make was a bit of sanding on the metro kit itself (which would tear up your black paint) on the sides of a few of the holes for the buttons. And thats it. I'll get a pic tomorrow for reference.
