I also saw that DIN install kit from ebay but the $165 was just too much to swallow when its 75% of the stereo purchase price.

I fabricated my own out of 1/8" aluminum plate (~$10) in 90 minutes, using a metal cutoff wheel in my grinder, a file to finish the sharp corners and some black spray paint so its invisible until I get my plastic in place.

I still need to make a black plastic piece that sits on top of the aluminum to finish it off.
