Hi,
I'm going to have a new cd player installed in my 1990 Sunbird LE. I
won't be doing the work myself (leaving that to more experienced
hands) but I need to get a dash kit for it. Does anyone have some
advice as to what would be the best to get? I've been searching and
found these so far:

Metra's 99-9000 underdash kit (as mentioned earlier in this thread)

METRA 89-30-3310 PONTIAC SUNBIRD 1990-94 DASH KIT (Which seems to
simply be a faceplate - does anyone know more about this particular
model?)

Pontiac Kit 1989-up, chassis size E (from crutchfield.com)

SCOSCHE GM1452B Installation Kit (For 1989-1994 Pontiac Sunbird)


I bought a SCOSCHE kit from Wal Mart simply because it was the
cheapest, for my 2004 Malibu
Turned out great, not a single complaint, except for the 75 dollar
adapter GM wants me to buy to keep my door chime and having to run a
seperate power wire to the fuse panel ;p

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Well she won't have to worry about the GM adapter cost, that's strictly a
data-bus issue with new vehicles. Sarah, why do you have to buy the kit? I
would think the installer would take care of this for you.

On a more helpful note, in my '94 Sunbird I cut the pocket out above the
factory tape deck and installed the CD player in there. The CDs just clear
the gear shift when loading/unloading ... doing this required only the
wiring adapter.
Now I have completely gutted the dash where the factory stereo and climate
controls used to be and fitted the player up in there ... but that's a lot
more money if you will be getting someone else to do the work.
