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.

^ Yeah well I bought the JDM piece, I didn't think it looked very good at all. I went back to my USDM piece and made a custom plate.

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.

With JDM, there was still a half inch gap, versus almost an inch on the USDM. I needed a trim plate either way, and although JDM fits perfectly, it just doesn't look as nice as the Rockford USDM piece.

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.
