I forgot to post back once I installed the Scosche kit.... Not much difference. Must be a issue with the display of the 9884 and the angle that the kits place the head unit. Now just gotta convince my wife I need a Double Din unit.

I think the word out is that the Scosche is better color matched, easier to properly install with no - little gaps, and looks better as a single din. However if you get a screen, on page one you can see how badass it looks.

I still like the Scoshe kit better even with a screen.

the overall look of it is really nice but the edges dont look like they are a very good fit.
