What year? If it's an S5 ('89'-92), the surround fits very tightly around the generic stereo kits. You'll probably have to file down some of the metal on the piece that holds the headunit.
If it's an S4, you shouldn't have a tight fit problem, but you will likely have gaps on the side that need to be filled.

I have a crappy Metra brand multi kit. I've had a few and the've all broken while I iddnt have the dash surround so I was hoping with a new one it wouldnt break but it broke while i was putting it together.

I was quite successful with my 86 using a plastic kit; I think it was Metra. I glued the pieces together, rather than relying on screws, and I did some minor modifications with a Dremel. It's solid as a rock, looks factory.

i just bought one and it fit great.. just had to squeeze the stereo into the radio garnish but no modifications done or any dremel work done... and it fits and looks great... got mine off ebay pretty cheap.. i suggest to be careful when installing and cutting the extra tabs off.. the metra ones are really flimsy and easy to break
