Default Installing a Avic N1 into integra- Custom dash? i need some help

Hey guys im picking up a N1 pretty soon and my civic has a integra dash swap- from what ive seen its going to hit unless i move the unit out an inch or so- I dont want it to look like that. What im thinking about doing is removing my ashtray, cig lighter and making a custom plate that goes over that whole area up to the climate control, and fiberglassing in a din from a dash kit on the bottom so i can see the screen better, along with putting in a dash tray up top to hold stuff- Anybody ever do this? If so got some pics? input on materials ect? thanks in advance

Flip the dash kit and mount it.

Flipping the dash kit will work.

We have custom installed more then a few in the vents above the heater controls, [g3 Integra] also a fair amount of custom work. 94

Ive seen the airvents and it looks great, but its way to high for me, and i would prefer to retain all of the air circulation- I think im just going to flip the dash kit and throw it in tomarow-

If you're going to cut and remove stuff, you should probably get a double din. I've never liked flip outs personally.
