I know a girl that's parting out a GSR. She'll sell me the climate control/center console for like $50. Do you guys think I could even get it to pretend to be a part of my car? I'm getting desperate looking for a good climate control and my Honda dealership quoted me $350 for a new one...

 

Personally I dont think its worth the effort, from the demeanor of your post, you just want the thing to work right, not customize it w/ a gsr climate control. Ebay has 6 of them on there now, Im sure you could get one for $50, same price as your friends.

 

Try junkyards, I got perfect one for $20.00

 

True, and you can test it in the parking lot and return it if its bad

 

little off topic but what year teg is your friend parting out with

 

People have done it and it can be done. If you spend the time and $ to make it work it will be sweet. Good luck

I believe it's a '98 'teg. I'm pretty sure she's still selling the engine, but the price is pretty steep ($5000...). I can ask if parts are available if anyone's interested...

As far as the climate controls, is there a way to reinforce them if I were to go with a stock unit? I don't want it to fall aprt in a year.
With the Ebay sales, by the time the auctions are over those things are going for near $100.
Is the time and effort worth the Integra unit? Will it look stupid? I could also stick the armrest in too. I'm having a hard time picturing it, but I'm sorta anxious to try it out....

 

buy the climate control from her car than sell it to make extra $ then try to find a nice one for your car
