I Picked up a black DC Center console to put into my Hatch but i have a huge gap in between the Stereo trim and the Ashtray/sig lighter assembly.

I know people have put these into the EF, What am i missing?


And i thought about just cutting up my factory ashtray piece to fill the gap, but there would be too ashtrays, and that's just hokey.

Any Help?

 

A shifter? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/integra-console-90-hb-lots-pics-777622/ thats what i followed when i did mine

 

see that hole on the console on the right side? and see where that white thing is in the metal one the part on your car? line those up and put a screw through it to hold it up. there is one on the drivers side too, but it doesnt line up, so you have to drill a hole through the console

 

i got a dc console too but what about the rear side like the armrest it wiggles

 

just take off the plastic cover by the e-brake, and run a couple zip ties through both the pieces. Remove the rear ashtray, and can run some zip ties around the e-brake cables, and the console. you'll see how once you take a look at it. get creative!

 

heres how mine looks i also installed the bracket(that goes over or under the e-brake cables) for the armrest from a dc2 i had to oblong the screw holes to get it to fit right

fit perfectly..also you need two tapping screws on top of the cigg lighter

 

You just have to pull it up a lot higher. I wish I had pics of mine in my old hatch...you can get it to fit almost perfectly. The right side screwhole on the center console lines up with the hole on the metal mount, and you just have to tap a screw through the plastic to mount it on the left side metal mount. Pretty simple.

 

This is my favorite thing I have done to my EF lol Love the arm rest

 

Thanks for all the input while ive been away!! Haha
Im goint to see if i can sourse out a piece to fill the gap, without looking crappy. Ive always wanted to put a couble din into her, maby now i will. Haha
If i cant then i will just tuck it up and screw it! Haha

 

mine

 

What steering wheel is that!?
That looks trippy in an EF.
I dig it!
That and supper short short shifters are fun

 

Prelude, and thats a stock shifter cut almost in half.

 

What did you use to paint the console? Looks like a good match

 

Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric spray paint. Flat black, comes out like a satin, armoral it and it looks stock. But i didnt paint the gsr console, only the dashboard and the EF upper console.
