double din kits in houston

hey ive been browsing for a double din kit for my g and i stumbled across a kit (not jdm) that is local here in houston. its alot less than buying the jdm kit... however i cant vouch for quality yet as i havnt bought it yet. but hell... its in houston. if it doesnt fit or look right... ill take it back! they also have the antenna adapters and such. they will also install for you as well.

if anyone else knows where to get the jdm kit locally.... please feel free to post a link or phone number so i can compare the two in person.

oh- and if you have the dual climate a/c in your g.... you wont lose that option as you will with the jdm kit. this one has the button built in. if you dont have it... its just a dummy button. something jdm should have done in my opinion.

i wouldnt buy the knock off. i would just spend the money and get the real double din kit. i thought about the knock off, but then i look at it and i didnt like the finish. so i went ahead and orderd the jdm double din kit from Grubbs.

you will loose the dual climate.

(kenstyle rear and nismo front end being put on!
