Re: (specv5150)
He is saying... He has a 99-00 civic with the radio up top(near climate control) and wants to convert to 96-98 radio setup with cd player down low(near cupholders).... I'd like to know whats needed also... Anyone have a write up or is it as simple as buying a 96-98 cupholder assembly?

I used the cup holders with the flip top...I beleive those are 96-98 as my 2000 had cup holders with no cover. As far as what do with the top, a block off plate would work. I personally took some ABS plastic, used the under radio pocket and made a 3gauge pod where the radio used to sit

why dont you guys go to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and look at the exploded views of the different trim levels that came with din units by the cupholder. then you can see what the differences are. just a thought.

the 2 brackets are just so you can mount the cd player nice and firm without having to rig up some way of strapping it down, you will however still neew to modify the panel that the radio sits in, youll need to open the top and bottom up very slightly. Also there is a little gap on either side (right and left) of the radio so you'll prob wanna make some form of trim. But with those parts you can get it done

it might depend on what size the trim ring on the aftermarket radio is wether it covers the entire whole or not, i used an alpine and it was a tiny gap.... but just enough for me to notice
