The previous owner of my 996 had installed a double din kit and I wasn't happy how it was holding up. I have installed the $160 kit available from eBay on my previous 996 and wasn't happy with the long term durability either, because the pressure fitting cover plate started to warp and a replacement was around $90 just for the trim plate. This new kit from Metra is awesome! (I'm not sure when it came out, but it seems new to me.) I got it for $24 dollars shipped. It doesn't include the wires, but those should be a maximum of about $20. The trim panel has a curve to match the car's trim panel, something the other $160 kit didn't have. The finish is very nice and the bottom relocation for the A/C and pocket are now one piece for a more seamless look. Anyways, I love this kit for $25, and not the $160 that I used to have to pay.

 

Link to order?

Gotcha. Didn't know it was against the rules.

 

Any before and after pictures of it installed to show the difference?

 

Hi,

Does this trim kit work with the factory cup holder (I have a 2004 C4S)?

Thanks,

Harry.
