Just bought a metra kit for my 00 ek Hatch and it looks like a POS

any advice?

I would like to find something that appears to be OEM possibly a pocket something with a pocket that has a flap lid would be *****.

 

Forget the kit, ISO mount the HU, [like stock HU] keep the stock pocket.

For a stealth install mount the HU so the face is flush or a little back from the front of the pocket, remove the face of the stock HU and use it as a dummy plate in front of the Alpine HU, [it's face plate removed], lookyloos will see a stock HU in the dash and move on the cars with aftermarket HU, and yes, crooks still brake into cars with aftermarket HUs that have face plates removed. 94

 

I never had single unit I had the separate radio and CD unit that had no pocket

 

So just pick up a pocket from the junk yard or leave the stock CD player or radio in there. I might have a pocket I would be willing to part with if the offer was right. I would have to look for it though.
