It only costs so much because it is Mitsu factory quality. And it's not like most crappy dash kits... it's that full piece with the vents and everything, plus all of the wiring needed to install the deck. I wanted it to look as close to factory as I could, and I knew a Metra or Scosche kit would probably look as bad as every other one I have bought from them, but I could be wrong.

I can get that part at cost if I wanted too.

think like 180ish

I got this same problem, only my dealer wants 282. None of my local stereo shops wanna touch it. My avic D3 is just collecting dust. But when my stereo shop calls me with a kit, ill post it.
I cant pay 282 for a piece of plastic with a couple vents. I would pay 180 so the vents look the same. I would B*tch about it though.

what exactly comes in this kit?

Just like my description you quoted says. The double din dash piece and all of the wiring needed to install a deck. The only piece I needed to make was the face plate to cover the gap around the deck. If you go to mitsubishiparts.com and look it up you'll see all of the parts it comes with.

So according to Metra's website, the kit has been released! I will be calling them tomorrow for availability and pricing. I went to Best Buy and Circuit City near me and neither of them could get the kit, even special order it because its so new. I'll see what Metra Corp. has to say!

So about my previous post:

I called Metra and they said they are back ordered on the actual physical product for about a week with 200 kits. I called them and possibly there's a shop near you that can already pre-order them at, and thats what i did....the kit is $40.50 and the harness is $20, very cheap for a big kit like this!!!

good luck all!

thanks for the update. now i just need to order it, send it to get dipped in woodgrain, then pick a tv and a ps3 to match.

I have already pre-ordered 5 kits for my shop. My cost is no where near that.

The wire harness only cost me $4

I updated in the audio section as well, but installer.com says they have them, and ill have mine in a week. Bought it today. 33.95 for the kit i think, and 7.95 for the harness + 7.50 shipping. We will see if they deliver as promised and i will repost.

Well unfortunately, I don't own a shop haha

but nonetheless, 60 bucks and tax is a helluva good price for a kit and harness for me, the consumer.

Also, i dont know if this question can be posted here, but what do you guys think of the Pioneer DEH-P7900BT or DEH-P790BT for a HU?

I thinks its a good head unit, its all what u want in your ride.. I went to my shop the other day and they could not order it yet siad maybe in a month or two. Also siad that when I replace the head unit I should replace all my door speakers with better ones in this Case Kicker, Since I know the guy and get them at cost.

And in my case, I've replaced all the speakers already and installed a 5 channel amp, just waiting on a new HU.
