Search. It's been asked before. Short answer is no - the opening is wider than a standard dual din head unit, so you'll end up with 0.5" - 0.75" gaps on either side of the head unit, and you'll have to do something custom to fill them. It ends up looking worse than the Scosche or Metra kits.
The best (and most expensive) solution is part number 330-019-001, which you can buy here:

It's about $220 + shipping to the US, and you have to wait a few weeks.

Really? It matches the dash perfectly. I have it and is makes my install look like it was OEM. Not sure why you think that the massive gaps around the deck with the rockford navi trim look better than the JDM one.

Yeah it does look pretty good. There is about a 1/4" max gap around the deck and the opening but I mounted trim ring behind the JDM piece to close it off. As well you have to play around with the radio brackets to get the desired depth on the deck. Pretty simple installation though.
