Can you post pics and a little review perhaps? I have the uber shitty metra kit that doesn't fit well at all, Id rather spend 59 extra bucks on a good fitting kit than fork out 180 bucks for that jdm kit. That would be nice :)
Kooldino 10-08-2008, 10:15 PM I'm told the fitment is much better than metra.

WHY ????
F/A18mech 10-09-2008, 05:28 PM Dude they probably bought the kit in bulk for a good discount. Car audio stuff (at least here in the states) is marked up ridiculously high for the consumer. When I was an installer/sales guy at circuit city, some of my discounts on the head units were nearly 100 dollars off. They probably just got a good deal on the bulk buy! ;-)
boy36 10-10-2008, 12:19 PM Prfect fitments :godance:

F/A18mech 10-10-2008, 08:42 PM Oh sweet, looks like I found me a new dash kit!
Kooldino 10-12-2008, 05:56 PM Awsome, I'm ordering one up. Bye-bye metra.
Plus it appears to be more well shrouded, which helps.
Kooldino 10-17-2008, 04:37 AM Just got my Scosche dash kit this evening, and installed it immediately. It actually snaps into place (unlike the metra) and fits very well. I'm much happier with my Scosche!
F/A18mech 10-17-2008, 05:34 AM oooo I'm jealous. I need to order it asap.
kidneythief13 10-17-2008, 06:06 AM Hey Dino, is the opening for the Scosche kit the exact size & contour as the Metra? I have a custom plexi piece made for my Metra kit that surrounds my single din deck & a portion of the plastic pocket underneath. I'm wondering if it'll transfer to the Scosche kit or not. Also, how's the color matching to the dash... is it darker/better than the Metra?

I m waiting too :thumbup:

No, it's shaped quite differently.

It's better than the metra in every imaginable way.

F/A18mech 10-21-2008, 07:27 AM I ordered mine today, hopefully it comes in soon!

Can you send me the link where you ordered it, I have the metra and I find that the fitment is not perfect.
What was the pricing?
Kooldino 10-21-2008, 03:24 PM Got it on ebay for like $40
F/A18mech 10-24-2008, 01:22 PM I got my Scosche yesterday and installed immediately as well. Fits like a damn glove, I canned my shitty metra dash kit.
Anyone have any pics of it installed? The first link that was posted is unavailable.
F/A18mech 10-24-2008, 06:06 PM I'll take some today.
kidneythief13 10-24-2008, 06:09 PM How do you guys, w/the kit, feel about the overhang on the long plastic trim piece? Maybe the couple pics I saw didn't do it justice... I look forward to seeing your pics F/A18mech... Could you take some at diff angles?
MrPurpleEvo 10-24-2008, 07:21 PM damn...my metra kit...SUCKS!! i just installed my flip out screen last night and wow..there's litte gaps here and there :(
Kooldino 10-24-2008, 07:25 PM How do you guys, w/the kit, feel about the overhang on the long plastic trim piece?
The one above the HU?
Kooldino 10-24-2008, 07:25 PM damn...my metra kit...SUCKS!! i just installed my flip out screen last night and wow..there's gigantic gaps here and there :(
*fixed
kidneythief13 10-24-2008, 07:42 PM The one above the HU?
Below, that sticks out over the faux CF pattern plastic piece.
Kooldino 10-24-2008, 07:46 PM I don't recall it sticking out down there.
kidneythief13 10-24-2008, 07:49 PM hmm, I saw a pic on a lancer site of the kit & there was an overhang there. The site is coincidentally down right now, so I'll see if I can post a pic later.
MrPurpleEvo 10-24-2008, 07:52 PM *fixed
lol yeah that too lol
F/A18mech 10-24-2008, 10:30 PM Here are a couple of pictures..one kinda head on the other at a different angle to highlight the so-called overhang.

F/A18mech 10-24-2008, 10:32 PM As you can see it sits flush, no crappy gaps, or warping. And as for the 2-DIN opening, it sits much tighter around the unit itself making for a cleaner look than the metra.
kidneythief13 10-24-2008, 11:10 PM http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/lambtron/scosche2.jpg
this is the overhang I was talking about... how the kit extends over the trim piece.
F/A18mech 10-24-2008, 11:43 PM I know, I just don't think the overhang is as bad as some people make it out to be ;-)
Kooldino 10-25-2008, 12:16 AM hmm, I saw a pic on a lancer site of the kit & there was an overhang there. The site is coincidentally down right now, so I'll see if I can post a pic later.
Ok, i just checked the overhang you're talking about in my car, and it works well...doesn't look awkward.
Honestly, you barely even notice it since you're looking down at it (not up at it like the pic shows).
Thanks for uploading the pics
F/A18mech 10-25-2008, 09:09 PM No problem..oh and the overhang sticks out no more than half an inch at most...sitting in the car, it looks completely natural and factory to me.
kidneythief13 10-25-2008, 09:17 PM ^good to know, the pics make it look a lot larger.
Bandit09 02-20-2009, 03:47 AM I know this is an old thread but just a quick question....Can you get to the back of the glove box through the area where you install the dash kit? Here is why I'm wondering:
In my mazda, I installed an alpine head unit which can control my ipod through the headunit. So what i did was run the wire from the back of the headunit and through a hole i cut in the back of the glovebox. That way i could just keep my ipod on the glove box and control it through the headunit.
i'd like to do this to my Evo but I'm just wondering if it's possible.
If anyone can confirm I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
