We carry Metra & Scosche. I have found that when one doesn't fit, try the other ftw.

Enjoy the weekend and call us on Tuesday.

Yeah, sometimes its hit or miss on dash kits.
For the most part, I find Metra to be slightly better than Scosche for fit but then again, Scosche has pulled through for me on more than one occasion!
