Aftermarket stereo kit for 987

Ok, i am kind of sick and tired of the 1cd slot and it seems like the Dension ipod adapter is a forever wait. I am now thinking to add a 2-din screen for my 987. Can anyone recommend a shop in the SF Bay area for the installation?

In addition, i found some pics from a japanese website that has a aftermarket stereo fit that matches the silver metallic colour completely in our 987. Is that something available in the US? Here's teh link to the kit i am referring to..the install imo is very clean...

The pics may be from a japanese website, but that car has the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car for JDM ... do they give any clues as to where that unit is actually from? I can't see for certain, but just above the auto-climate controls on the fascia for the screen, it looks like some sort of OEM labeling (white lettering on the silver surround..)

Now the question is if that install kit is available here in the US. It looks so OEM and matches perfectly....

one of our configuration management people is Japanese ;-) I'll forward along the link(s) and see if she can write a request.

Off topic: Why aren't the porsche's in those pictures RHD like all the other JDM cars? They do make RHD Porsches as seen in GB... weird.
