Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a little something that I think makes any install in a 99 or 00 civic. When I installed my new head unit I HATED the mounting kits available so what I did was mount the head unit right in there, screwed right to the metal on the sides, then installed a pocket from the bottom slot of a 96-98 civic in below (or above) the unit, it will also mount right to the metal. It looks super clean when it's done and you have a useable pocket instead of a pensil holder. Hope this helps and I'm sure a lot of you know about this but, take it easy on me.

 

Hey, great tip, even if some already know about it.

 

You can also use the stock 99-00 stock pocket. Mounting it can be tricky but nothing a lil duct tape wont fix

 

My head unit mounted right to the stock holes in the bracket too. I drilled 2 small holes in the factory pocket and it screwed right in place as well. Saved spending money on crappy "install" kit. Also kept the factory pocket.

 

That's actually exactly what I did at first too but I keep change and CD's and a bunch of crap in it so the tape eventually fell off. The pocket from the 96-98 civic screws right in and stays in place.
