Lower DIN panel $19
Lower DIN panel $19
For what it's worth, the lower DIN panel is available separately from the full install kit.
P/N: MR626799 (black)
Price: $18.46
This does not include the mounting bracket spacers required to use the brackets in the same manner as the upper DIN opening. I'm not quite sure what the $55 kit provides but my Alpine is sitting pretty down there with just the insert and the DIN sleeve.

yeah mine is sitting in the bottom too without the kit, I just slid it back and screwed it to the bottom place, but there is no plastic surround as of right now, it doesnt look to great but I can use my stereo while waiting. 
if anyone ever wants to get rid of the crap to put the radio down there....i am interested...I just really need the surround or spacers or what not...hehehe ...it works right now, but looks cheesy.

Sorry folks! I didn't relaize this would cause such a stir.
This is just the DIN panel insert. Once it's in place you simply have a DIN sized opening in place of where the coin box or what ever it is called was. There are no brackets included. IMO they aren't really needed as an DIN sleeve (Alpine at least) will slide in place and clamp down very well. I'm not even using a hanger strap on the back of mine.
I'll snap some pics tonight of the install as well as what is going on behind the scenes with my DIN sleeve.

Here's a pic of the back of the panel (thanks to Perversity ). All I've got is this panel. Nothing else.
Sorry, BAD LINK
The link to the original how-to is here
I'll try to snap some more specific pics of my install tonight.

Thanx for the part # info. Went to the dealer and picked mine up for $14. My alpine fits like a glove, just like you said. Saved me $70 bucks.
