do you really need to know the formal name for it? uummmm... plastic thingie, retaining bracket for stereo, stereo cover, some call it instalation kit. call or go to best buy or circuit city, they have a ton of those things and i know circuit citys got it.

I went to best buy..they said that I need that becuase the installation kit connects to it or something like that.

Thanks for the link noodle..but the install kit I can get...if you look at the picture the whole sides where ripped out, which is what is needed to put the install kit in.
