Default DC dash in an EG

How difficult is it to put a GSR dash into a 92-95 Civic sedan?

Links? Experience? Anything?

Thanks!

From everything I read into, it's not easy, and you have to hack some pieces around the steering column to make it fit... I thought about this several times, but not worth my effort...

Well, now that I have the full GSR interior, I think I may go at it...

Will all the seats fit in my car?

Its not like "OMG IT CAN'T BE DONE!" hard... but its not that... easy.

You'll have some gaps, you'll have to do some cutting here and there, some metal pounding here and there, and a splice in a plug or 3. I'll get you more details tomarrow, but I have PT in the morning. h:

thats not me in the pic, thats 88hybridhatch, or whatever the hell he's going by now.

I never did put it in. You have to cut/pound some of the steering wheel support subframe, I didn't want to do that.

You'll have to make your own custom door panels from your civic panels, as teg panels won't fit.

When doing it, i got some help myself, here's what the guy helping me via emial said:

"i feel you man, i was frustrated when i first started and it took me a while before finally finishing the install. i was more concerned with what you can see and as long as it look good, i was done. but in my case, there wasn't a gap between the dash and the windshield. the dash should butt up right against the windshield and fit nicely(my defroster works great, btw). i do have gaps where you also specified but the gaps are small and un-noticeable. my teg dash is very secure since all the mounting bolts used for the civic dash where all used for the teg dash. the bolt behind the teg dash clock was the hardest to get to though. fitment was not perfect. i remember that i had to cut alot but i just kept cutting whatever plastic got in the way. after i had gotten the dash to where it fit best and everything was bolted down and secure, all that was left were the door panels and gauge cluster. the cluster would not fit unless i cut the metal behind it. but now it fits perfectly. as for the door panels, take your time on those. i've seen real cheesy ones because some people were impatient. you've got to "peel" the vinyl away carefully (maybe you can use a heat gun, i was unsure about using it). and then measure what you've got to cut and then re-glue the vinyl back... that's all i can think of right now.... hope that helped."

the seats... you'll have to get teh 4 door seats for the civic coupe, and even then it'll be a bit short/narrow. but some black cloth backing will hide that. Not sure abotu 4 door civics. front seats will fit fine as long as you have the rails for them.
