my Question is ... Is there a aftermarket radio/a/c bezel that would allow for a dual dinn radio installation ? is it possible to install the panel out of a 95 mines a 96 by the way that would allow for the dual dinn by moving the a/c controls ?
I have one in my 2010 ford focus and id like to do something like that in my civic . heres a pic of the radio and focus another mod I did for the focus was to take out the interior trim get the paint code and have a spray can mixed in the same color as the exterior then sprayed.

You can install the bezel from a 99 2000 civic you need a few other junkyard parts to make it happen including the two canter air ducts from behind the dash but it is a very common mod just google it I'm sure with no effort you will find a YouTube video how to.
I looked up the YouTube videos and was really let Dow looks like everyone who did this mod and owned a camera did a half *** job. I hope you take the time to get the correct parts to do it right. But the videos are still useful and there is a how to on this sight and a ton of threads about the ac bezel conversion. http://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-de...%2A%2A-605432/ Hope that link works

No problem sir! If you don't rush and take your time you can find everything you need to do it for very little money. I did the full proper conversion on a friends car total $$$$ spent on parts was only 100 at the junkyard but I have seen people sell the bezel itself for that money. I think everyone should do that upgrade personally it doesn't make the car any faster but it's infinitely more enjoyable and I think we'll worth it.

I'm getting ready to start this mod now....dash comes out today I came across a heck of a deal a guy locally is parting out a 2000 civic I managed to get the bezel with all controls , the harness to the heater box.....the box itself , the blower box and the harness that's found on the whole climate assembly for 50.00 ! Was gonna wait to do the mod as I'd be spending a pretty penny to do it otherwise but since I came across this deal I decided to go for it.

Update : Mod Complete took me 1 1/2 days to do due to the fact im also married with 2 kids...lol that being said Everything is Now installed and working properly. I ended up pulling the dash , replacing the vent ducts with the centers from a 2000 , Replaced the Heater Box which was a pain !
I had read that it is not necessary to pull the box that you can swap the parts but I was afraid to try it 1 wrong move and id be looking for replacement parts. figured better just to swap the entire unit. I also read that you don't have to pull the blower box. that you can swap the relay and resistor. I ended up swapping the relay and resistor because I liked the condition of what was on the car much better then I did what I had to swap in. in the end this was definitely a involved project. but for me definitely a necessary mod. now I can start looking at in dash dvd players heres a pic of the end result.
