You just need 1/4" spacers to put on the 4 screws that hold the radio bracket. I used white PVC spacers you find in the screws aisle of the hardware store. While there, also get some black foam weather sealant. I cut it down the middle to make thinner strips and placed it around all four edges of the factory trim. Use a trim remover tool to squeeze it behind the head unit as your re-install everything and it will create a nice seal around the gaps. You can not even see any foam and no gaps. The 1/4" spacers make the head unit stick out just enough to also help hide the gaps.

Total probably spend $5 vs who knows what for the metro Cash kit that to me just looks cheap.

In thinking of getting this same stereo. How do you like it. GalletGun? how much better does it sound than the stock base head unit? Any other advice you can share about the installation? Thanks!
