you have to gring off some of the plastic on the back of the crx dash next to the windshield so that it could fit snugly in place...!!!

i put a crx dash in my hatch. un bolt the 5 bolts holding the hatch dash in, pull it out. un bolt the 5 bolts holding the crx dash in. pull it out. swap them in, then bolt them in. you only have to modify the crx dash to fit a wagon or sedan.

You need the bracket that mounts to the middle of the floor, they're different between CRX's and hatchbacks

this is true. found out the hard way haha.

dash swap is easy.. no trimming needed into the Ef's as mentioned above.. just alot of little screws in akward places. and DO drop the steering column as also mentioned above.

Good luck!
