It's supposed to fit snugly into the hole but i'm a retard when it comes to drilling mounting holes so it's sitting a lil high. =\ Sorry

Rich: So... How we looking on that real CF insert for the dash?

and if you could. Any updates on your diagnostics computer?

Sorry for the delay Derek, I wish there was something I could do about the paint/finishing process.

I'm in for the combo kit too. Thanks for the update.

K everything's been fixed (my S2000 friend did most of the retooling) and now I can proudly show all what a stock HU looks like with lower din RS plate.



Fit and finish here:

Well guys i havent recieved my kit yet but that doesnt mean i cant get ready for it. Since im not going to have my z1 double din for a few months i figured i would put something together so that i can still use my hvac conversion, but not the head unit surround. that way i wont have a hole in my dash. so what better than 6 dollar bondo and a little work...tell me what you guys think.

not bad, but the EVO RS single-DIN radio cover (above) is even cheaper than that. if i'm not mistaken, i believe the mitsubishi p/n is MR250558.

you can use that until your Z1 comes in and it would look 100% OEM

yea that wouldnt be a bad idea either but i thought it would be cool if the complete piece was flush. i think it will look better.
thanks for the part number it may come in handy if im not satisfied after i put a coat of paint down.

the part's ~$7. Call your dealers before making the venture as to not waste gas in these days of high gas prices.

Rich I can't stop looking at my center piece. hahaha It's such a distraction while i'm driving! Thanks for putting this up for us to have. =D

BTW I feel like your promotional *****.

Fit and finish here:
Seriously Rich, I think you were either over exaggerating or just seriously an absolute perfectionist when you told me earlier that the stock HU would not fit as well as an aftermarket HU. To say there is a slight gap between the outer stock HU with the upper bezel,... I don't know, but I don't see it.

Can't wait till the mixed kits ship out!

BTW, CRVdrftR05, thank you for posting up your pictures of your setup. This is going to be similar to what I'll be doing on my car, but instead of the RS faceplate, I'll have my gauges placed in. Still trying to decide whether to put the guages or stereo on top.

Thanks for everything man. This kit is amazing. Shoot me a PM when you're ready with everything on you're end so I can get started.

Here are some pics:

O.O!!! Influence Your set up is amazing!! And very pro shots. How come your dash is so dark?

Neo: no problem man. Word of caution....make sure the drilling templates are lined up perfectly otherwise you'll be drilling more holes. =\ And trust me there isn't much surface area after the first set of holes. lol

Just my 2 cents.
