Default will a hatchback dash fit in a sedan?

i just picked up an 89 lx 4dr for $400 it's in good shape but the dash is destroyed (previous owner punched it above the glovebox) so now i need a dash asap but i don't think it's gonna be too easy finding a dasboard for a sedan.


i really like the 4dr. it's wierd having power steering,mirrors,and windows

Ive heard that when a HB dash is put in a sedan that theres a small gap between the windshield and the dash. Not sure how much truth is in that but thats what i heard. Never actually tried it myself. If both CRX and HB dash's work i'd go with the CRX dash. Its stylish and would be a different mod for a sedan.

will the plastic over the climate control on the 90-91 civics connect up to a crx dash if you keep the civic controls, so that you can use a 94+ teg console?

sorry if it's confusing, couldn't really think of a way to say it

If your going to use a CRX dash then the Integra center console will not work, due to the CRX dash having the curve towards the driver. Now if you use a HB dash then you can use an Integra center console. When my friend put a CRX dash in his '90 DX HB, he used his stock civic climate control. Not exactly sure why, i think the crx one was damaged. I hope that somewhat answers your question.

crx dash + civic climate control + dc console, the reason i asked for the civic climate control area, is cuz i know it connects to the dc consoles, because i have one, so my question is will the civic climate control area connect to a crx dash so can use the dc console? thakns
