sorry i duno the answer to your question, but i do have one of my own

has anyone done or seen an AC/stereo console from a 99-00 civic be put in a 96-98 style? this is something ive really been wanting to do but cant find any info on it. the only thing that probably wont be plug and play is the heating controls (96-98 is slider style, 99-00 are rotary knobs)...

any info would be great.... thanks.
