go with an Alpine, and those motorized ones break sometimes. I had a Motorize kenwood installed on a customers car, it broke like 3 weeks later because when he shifted hard it hit the dash, I told him he should have left it in so the screen wouldn't flop around. Any way they look tacky. just do a Duoble din conversion from orbital and a double din apline for like less than 1k It will probaly come out to 1k anyway. but Alpine sounds better and its touch screen, with that pulse crap. Check them out.

Actually the motorized look way better then double din's in the US evo. The orbital kit has, imo, some fit and finish issues and I completely changed my HU plans after seeing it in person.
Off course, I also only have my screen up when navigation is being used so my interior always looks clean.

Kenwood = warranty issues.
You can get a brand new pioneer for 700~
If you have the money, eclipse is the way to go.

Realy? Does the orbital Kit not Fit well? I gues a Single din would be Easier/cheaper. But IMO i am still a fan of the more flush and sleek looking Double din. I love a Clean looking finish.
