Default Radio install kit options

I'm looking at getting an Alpine radio for my truck.

http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...ory=&p_main=10

What are some options for install kits to cover the excess space in the dash around the radio? Anyone done any custom setups with pictures?

Anyone got one of these radios and if so how do you like it? I've always liked the Alpines in the past but, it's been a while(years+ ) since I've looked at replacing a stock radio.

Thanks

There's a few companies that make install kits, Scosche (sp?) is one that comes to mind. They are vehicle specific and usually come with a pocket above or below the head unit. It should cost less than $20. Check out crutchfield.com and maybe do a google search for Scosche's website.

I would go with the Scosche (LOL sp?). I have used their kits in the past and they are nice....I would also look into getting the wire harness that plugs into the stock harness.
