great job on your double din! you can make a custom face for your lower din just like mine. just use a trasparent plastics and use your old HVAC gauge stickers.

Looks good BANKS, but let's shed light on the details.

1. The JDM bezel is actually an overlay and not a complete replacement unit. It doesn't just 'clip' right in. It will attach to the face of the stock bezel, which will have to be cut.
2. When the air transfer cables are moved to the lower position, a portion of the metal inside the lower cubby area will need to be cut in order to allow the cable to freely seat without kinking it.
3. By reusing the stock HVAC controls the three buttons on the bottom will be in slight contact with the lower portion of the DIN replacement unit. It'll have to be slightly dremmeled out in order to let the buttons clear.

Though you saved a little bit of money on the actual 'parts', the labor intensive (precise cutting of the stock bezel) nature of your install makes the plug-n-play kit a much more viable solution for those that don't want to risk messing up their stock setup.

hey whats up~

1.yes it is an overlay, but when you cut up the factory bezel ,if you save the top portion which retains the clips ,you can put the overlay ontop of that factory piece.regardless the stock bezel will be cut anyway...but hey its only a piece of replace-able plastic!!

2.there is only a very small piece of metal inside that will need to be cut.. but its easy we used a pair of tin snips. the piece needed to be cut is obvious when you open it up.

3.yes as i said before , there is definitly some dremel action needed, but it goes quick. anyone can do it if they take the time out. its not THAT intensive, its only trimming a piece of plastic.

all these parts are replace-able the only major thing would be to buy a new plastic bezel , if you "mess up"

as for the other plug and play kit..
-you still have to remove the cables and still have to take out the ac controls
-use a 99 Galant climate control
-still re install the cables and ac control

so its basically paying $300 in parts you dont really need and are a downgrade from what you already have. personally id put that $300 dollars i saved, into my motor or other things.

im not knocking the kit thats coming out or whatever, different strokes for different folks.

for like $195 youll have the parts you need to complete the project with your own EVO climates.
