If either way the blue or the black one works out, I'm going to offer $50 plus the giving of my current dash. Both certainly have some scratches, but still solid. He's been good to me this far so I'll see what'll happen. So I am dead on certain to get this thing tommorow so Kiwi, or anyone else, can u please help me with a few more questions before tommorow morning? I need these answered right away.

- So I can use the dash part where it slopes down but need the plastic cover behind the actual steering wheel? Every thing on my hatchback of that will work with the crx dash?

- Are there any wires that are with the dash? Can they be used with my car?

- Do I need to lower the steering rod(long thing that goes under the dash) or can I just take off the wheel and wiper arms to get the dash off?

-Are there any bolts that are hidden that I need to get?

- And last, will the vents (both sides) on my dash fit with the crx dash? I'm just afriad some idiot might have broken one of them.

Guys, help me please. If you can answer these questions before tommorow morning, I would be the happiest man alive right now!
- im almost certain that the glove box is the same the fuse cover and coin tray r the same

- u can swap it out without moveing ur steering wheel or takeing any of it off only the black plastic piece around the key and turn signals need to be taken off and replaced with the one form a crx

- um bolts. i beleive there are only 6 bolts holding the dash to the car but there my be some thing that have to be taken off to get to them

- i think the vents r diff on the sides as well so u may have to find some of them later (no biggy just get the main stuff swaped first u can find the vents farely easy

like i said befor the bottom bolt dont line up 100% but u make it work and as for the rust on the metal bracket so what it will not be visable as long as no bolts or screews are seized up u will be fine. hope this helps
