The second one looks like the same kit I bought at Best buy for my work truck. I will take a look when I get home.

The only other two major kit companies I know of are American International and Scosche. I've never seen that kit.

If you are looking for a HU mount for a C5, I would highly reccomend one VrumVrum's kits. They look 10,000% better than any of the standard kits out there. They cost more, but it is well worth it, IMHO.

Here are a few of the HUMOUNTS.COM kits:

Hope people do not mind me posting their pics...only one of these is of my previous car.

IMHO, none of the aftermarket kits compare to these. The design allows for a more flush finish and the blank area is filled with a high end aluminimum plate rather than obviosly cheap plastic. Short of customizing your bezel, this is the only way to go, in my opinion.
