Scosche dash kit on the way

[bobdobbs]

F-ing Crutchfield failed to tell me the Metra dash kit for the Alpine HU I just ordered was on back-order until 5/24/04! So, I called up Scosche to see if their kit was available, and yup, it is, 20 bucks and in factory-match silver. It should be here early next week, but I'll post-up with my experiences after it gets here. Hopefully it's better than the Metra kit.

Good find, finally i can rip out my metra kit and run over it a few times then mail it back to those bastards at Metra.

Down with Metra!

Yeah, it's very illogically-named:

http://www.scosche.com/

;)

Unfortunately, no picture of the kit, because it's new, according to the guy on the phone.

Dobs, you wouldnt happen to know if they also made the kit in black do ya?

I have been looking all over for it instock and have had no luck. Whats the model number for the silver kit that you will get? I want to call with it and order.

[bobdobbs]

Got the kit today and took a couple of pics, pre-install. It looks pretty nice to me so far, but how it fits is the big question.

The lower compartment is black and has two slots for CDs, a nice touch.

yo the shocse kit works really well better than a friend of mine has and he had his custom done you should be pleased with the results

[renone]

but the metra kits and schose kits are the same
the metra kit has way more mounting options than the scosche
iso or cage mount
i have a 03 si and i use these kits daily

You seem to be contradicting yourself with these two statements.

[renone]

sure i am
ummmm k
the kits are relativley the same
the schosche has less mounting options
both suck and i have had both
so yes if saying they both suck is contradicting then so be it
