If i understand you correctly, any standard single bin headunit ought to fit in the teg.

I bought a wire harness kit from crutchfield for approximately $12. It basically wires up the headunit to your stock wireharness.

i have found no kit that actually MOUNTS anything in G3 integra ... your best bet is the standard kit ... flipped upside down .. where the headunit is on the bottom and the abs plastic is above it .. and slide it in ... there is no back mounting hardware

I used metal straps to hold mine in. The headunit is a royal pain in the *** to get in and out, but I've found that with all the hidden metal straps it takes me at least 30mins to get out and I know where to reach.

my HU had to slide into the faceplate kit.. whihc then snapped into the dash.. so basically all you need is a flathead to pry my HU away from the trim kit and it's gone....

Get the Metra 99-7898 It's the Honda Acura Single DIN install kit. Looks good and seems to fit snugly. Circuit City has them. ALso, you can use the American International HON-K828 kit...essentially the same kit, but the AMI kit might be a little cheaper. Either way you'll get good fitment.

Also, the Metra Turbo harness number for Honda/Acura Is 80-1720. You'll want one of those and one of the turboharnesses for the brand of stereo you have...really simplifies the install process. Oh, and the new CQ-C9700U is coming out now too, excellent unit. keep in mind though that panasonic's CD Changer technology is pretty dated, so you might want to consider what you're going to do with your system.
