Default installing double Din on Touring model

Guys, I was really looking forward to installing a kenwood double din on my 370Z touring, but the stereo is bigger than the base models, therefore, its not just a plug and play.
Has anyone done a double din on a touring model, or know where to get the parts (trim piece) etc?

thanks in advance.

I honestly would have to say even though it is made for DD I would probably have to go with a single din. I would kill myself looking and playing with the screen, plus better quality audio I can get form a single din more prepossessing power for audio.

You are gonna pay about $200 if you get trim piece from Nissan. The Z store is selling the trim peice for about $50. Check the link that I posted above. I got mines about 2 days ago. I'll try to post pictures of it tonight.

I posted a link to the site where I got the frame (dash kit) above in post #3 of this thread. It was from the Z Store.

Is the headunit the only thing you installed? Where did they mount the receivers for GPS? I'm probably going to follow the same path so wanted some ideas.

The dash kit is nice. Matches the interior perfectly. No, I didn't get the backup cam and I regret it. Especially since it was pretty inexpensive.
