HELP! Alpine 9883 Not Fitting
I just went out and bought the Alpine 9883 stereo at Best Buy. However, they stopped selling installation accessories for the 2001/2002 Civic. But i am going to install it anyway, so i ordered the installation parts of the internet.
I got this (Metra 99-7897) http://www.installer.com/item/displa...php?it=99-7897 so i could keep the pocet + flap. I also ordered the wiring harness. However, after trying to make the 9883 fit into the Metra 99-7897, i realized it doesnt fit 
So now im pissed. How do i make this work? it just doesnt fit. Even after taking off the mounting sleeve and pressure plate, it just doenst fit. 
**With the Metra kit, the installation instructions say its for the 2003 civic, but the pictures are from a 1999/2000 Civic. So if i cut the rounded corners, will it fit. Anyone else with this kit?
