NEED IDEAS to fill hole in dash
I like having my CD Player at the bottom...so now I have a hole at the top where my stock Radio was...I'd rather not put the Stock radio back cause It's ugly and I'd like make mine look 'different' somehow...I just don't know what to put there
-An Apexi VTEC Controller would cost too much
-Flip up LCD is also too much
-Maybe Gauges?

Is there a place/shop that will cut me a custom carbon fiber panel for the hole????
Also, does Honda make a pocket for that hole...cause I tried taking a 99-00 Pocket (the one under the stock radio) and It didnt fit in that hole
I dont think Honda makes a pocket to go where the factory radio is for the 96-98...or do they?

If you can't find one.....you're going to have the mod the one you have to fit the hole....ie......custom trim piece......simular to the one you should make for the radio so it would look finished/flush.
It's only a matter of time before 94EG6HB see's this post, and gives you the part number you seek.

The apexi controller will look best...but it costs quite a bit...can anyone get me one cheap?
If i cant get that...ill probably put gauges...i dont want another pocket.
And yea...I put the radio in the bottom my self...it was really easy...easier than installing a radio in the top...mind you its easier for someone to steal from the bottom...oh well..i reallly like it down there

oh yes...96-98 have a DIN sized hole where the cassette player was...99-00's have a big hole (pocket) right? guess you can't put a CD player down there...but the 99-00 heater control panel looks better anyways..so putting the CD player up there is ok

yeah that should be good and still affordable, just get a din sized panel or whatever, and then you can just cut into it to put your gauges there, or you can try to find some gauge pods that come in that size, i just dunno if they make them to fit in a din enclosure.... lol keep me uptodate on this stuff cuz i think i'll end up doing the same thing as you! it does look much better down low!
