I went with Metra, I’m very happy with the look and results. Friends can’t tell the difference unless I say something, they think it’s factory. Took a few minor tweaks and trial fits to get it all perfect. I did the saws all method, ( don’t be scared) I did a license frame back up camera, Kenwood DNR476S navigation head unit, kenwood 300w amp for a Kicker 6 3/4 sub woofer, Rockford Fosgate in the doors, Hertz 6 3/4 in the back. Built a 9x16 wedge shape sub cabinet that sits right behind the seats, carpeted to match, with storage bins at each side of the sub cabinet. I didn’t want to break the bank, but still have new car touch and sound. With the small sub right behind the seats it sounds pretty dang good. I am happy for the $1,600 I spent, which includes the Metra bezel and sub cab. Building the cabinet, installing the back up camera and head unit, bezel I have around 16-18 hours in it.

Could have done better with hiding the amp.
Happy with it
Have a place for the chamois
Nice to have a stereo with enough thump
