My curiosity started after I stumbled on this site:

http://www.hzemall.com/our_gallery/i...sh/install.htm

It's a 99-00 Civic SI but the center console where the cup holders are located are different and there is room for a deck right below the main bezel.

After doing some research, I found out that the parts is from an Acura 1.6 EL as pictured below.



The part is a direct replacement and adds that area for the deck. I'm really interested in getting this piece because I'll have the CarPC screen on the main double din area and the deck right below it. Right now I have the deck where the cup holders are and it's just too low.

Does anyone know where I can find this part and purchase it? I'm guess this Acura was not sold in the USDM market?

 

Canada....

 

Thanks, I kind of figured that myself out.

Any online sites where I can purchase this? Any dealers from Canada that sell online?

You're in Canada, any dealers near you?

 

I have a setup like this in stock now if anyone is interested

 

I was able to find it on a Canadian forum and purchased it. All is installed with the CarPC now and works great.

 

i'm gonna bring this back, were they ever available in beige and does anyone know of one for sale??

 

I would think so since most likely all other model Civics in Canada came with the same console, but I'm not sure 100%. I joined a Canadian forum and purchased from a member there.

 

do you remember which forum it was??

 

Nope, google canada acura 1.6el forum and join each one u find.

 

 

So, that piece will fit any 96-00 Civic w/o having to swap out the whole console area? I think that would be a good option (and run gauges in the normal din for the deck).

Anyone done this?

 

yes, it swaps right in. I've done it to my 99 Si and it currently has it. Just buy the part from a forum or Canada.

 

Yes, they were in beige, too. Toughest colour to find though.

(FYI: I have one right now for sale, Dark Grey (Type K). Impeccable condition.)
