integra dash into EG door panel problem solver!!
Now everyone says to heat up the integra/civic ones....EWWWWW dont do that. Others will say get cuztom ones for 500.00!!! No way man. I will share my secret.
Now I havent done the actual dash swap in but I have done the panels for my friend who did the dash swap. I learned this from him. What you do is:
Use 3/4 of the civic panel and 1/4 of the integra panel.
Peel the upholstery (sorry) on both, make your measurements. You will only need the integra part of the panel only where it meets the dash. You cut off the 1/4 part of the integra dash and you cut out the same amount away from the civic panel. Make sure your measurments are right by maskin tape the pieces together and holdin it up to the door. When you found the perfect amount you need, then you fiberglass the pieces together. After that is done you "rewrap" the panels to your liking.
I never said it would be easy, but darn looks alot better than heating it up or throwing black garbage basg over the panel..
Let me know how it goes. Thx
