I had TCAudio do the install in Benton AR yesterday. Came out nice.

I did the Alpine 910 with the Alpine perfect fit kit. No on-star. with 117 alpine back up camera, ipod touch for video/audio, bluetooth, tr7.
Cool factor...yup...all day long, amber background matches darn well with the IOM interior accents...video easily seen front or back seats. Sounds great on mids and highs...obviously more power now so you really need some subs after changing to the new deck. You do lose some vision of the top two gauges in the 4 pack for sure. The shifter for the auto in park is darn close to the kit. Makes me wonder about the manual. I haven't driven a manual since June so I don't remember...I want to say the shifter is further back when in gear.
The finish on the kit is like the instrument cluster, steering wheel, and vent trim...bright silver...but with less laquer so it doesn't quite look the same....but close.
touch screen hvac is sweet...took my 6 year old (almost 7) 30 seconds to figure it out this morning. lol
The kit fits really well up to the dash...no gaps like some of the scosche pics...so it makes me wonder if that one scosche kit had some issues.

I would like to upgrade my Metra POS to this kit... I'd like to see/hear feedback from an M6 driver as well...

the seat belt chime and back up beeps are too loud IMO.
