So I got a dash kit with the head unit I bought on eBay, and the bottom pocket isn't quite deep enough to put a cd in. ytf would you make one like that? Like the top 1/5 or 1/6 of the cd will hang out. At least in the stock one a cd fits in there. Duh.

What kit did you get, a picture or model number would help

Looks like you got the bad kit. I can fit at least 2 cds in mine.

^^ lol it's a stupid thing but I did the same with my stock CD holder

IronFist, sell the kit back on ebay and get a Metra 99-7897 so you can put the stock bottom pocket back in and flush mount the deck in the top. If you want to see what it looks like, check out my page in my sig

For some reason, that kit that keeps the pocket doesn't look good to me...except on your car^^.

I think it looks better on my car, the colors are matched perfectly

I stand corrected after seeing pics. Yours looks good as well.

heh. Yeah stinking honda uses a weird paint that changes colors depending on the light. Hard to match. I may take the whole console out and paint it all the same color.

Ok, rotating a cd 90 degrees... um... a cd is a circle.

Oh, did you mean in the case?

I don't use cd cases in my car because you can fit a lot more cds if you don't use the cases. I usually use burnt cds anyway, so if one gets damaged it's not the worst thing ever.

Wow, that's nice. How much was it?

Here, this is the kit I got. You can see that the pocket isn't deep enough to hold a cd. Maybe I could DIY it and attach the stock pocket, or maybe cut out the pocket on this one and manually make it deeper. What do you think?

How hard is it to change dash kits? If I install this one now and get that one in the future would it be a pain to switch them out?

 
Rep Power: 786

I say buy the 99-7897 you will like the results, I think my deck is almost factory looking with the right color set on the display

Ironfist, that looks just like my kit. CDs fit in fine, just sticks out a little but no big deal.

^ They don't rattle or bounce out, do they? Would it be hard to swap it for another one later?

 
Rep Power: 812

It's as easy as yanking out the console and swapping for a new one. Not that hard.

It takes maybe 10 minutes to swap out dash kits.

Hell no. I just put a cheap ole kit in for now until I find my beloved single-din Spectrum Analyzer which I know exists but cannot find. Then I'll swap it.

^ Whoa, what's that? Post a pic or something.
