A couple months back I ordered and installed a Kenwood DNX5120 (great system, btw). The only problem is the double din install kit it came with more or less looks like crap. It looks like the dash is at an angle and at the top there is a significant gap (1/4" or so). I was going to just add washers or some other spacer to the top screws to push out the top of the kit, but after I had an alarm installed on my truck I noticed the bottom tabs were snapped off.
So more or less I'm at a point where I'm just going to purchase a new kit. Does anyone have any recommendations on the kit I should purchase, or are all of them about the same, and I'll just have to work some magic to get it to look "factory"?

Thanks for the help!

Metra Elec. and Best Kits make a good kit.

Where did you get the install kit from and the in-dash??

I ordered mine from Crutchfield and had no problems at all.

Picked it up on ebay (install kit came with HU), of course
Saved myself $350 or so.... A little $10-20 item is my only complaint, so I made out alright!

Looks like crutchfield is out of the in-dash kit....................

You can try your local stereo shop.

^^ I agree. Check your local Best Buy, Circuit City, or local audio shop.

best buy over circuit city for a dash install kit, CC carries metra and there not as good as they would be, kinda cheap imo

True. I only mentioned CC in case BB doesn't have them.

If I were you I would check a local smaller audio shop before BB. Sometimes the little ma and pa shops will sell them to you for next to nothing.

I bought my head unit and speakers from Crutchfield. The head unit came with the factory pigtail and install kit which worked and was FREE. Crutchfield is the best if you are willing to pay a little extra.

^^Agreed. Crutchfield includes ALL the mounting hardware and necessary wiring that you need to hook up your new cd player. Those are 2 of the reasons why I always buy my stuff from them.
