It looks ok, but is clearly not an exact match or texture. As for the "post splitting" issue, i simply heated up the stock screws with a propane torch. I didn't get them real hot, just a few seconds in the flame. This worked perfectly, not a single crack in the plastic screw posts. They seemed to soften the plastic just enough so it wouldn't crack or split. I also had to file the opening for the ac/heater control so the buttons wouldn't get held up and stick on the surrounding cover. After the cautious reinstallation, it looks pretty good. The adaptor does clip into the dash well and fits great, I just wish I didn't have to take the extra steps for fit and finish. Thanks to all the people who reviewed this before me. I knew what to look for when doing it myself. Pros: Fits in with the rest of the dash very well Cons: Color match and texture is a bit off. Caution is needed when reinstalling the stock components into the adaptor. Minor modification is needed to get a perfect ac/heater control fit. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not a simple drop in install Written By Berserker, VA on Thursday, June 02, 2011 I installed the kit it in a 2010 LX Civic and it looks fine, but I had issues with the install. First off is the "post splitting" issue. The kit requires use of the screws from the OEM dash to attach the vent, hazard light button, air bag indicator, and air conditioning controls. The OEM screws are a little longer and slightly larger in diameter than #8 half inch screws. I attached all the parts using the OEM screws, and at least half of the posts split. Clearly the holes in the posts are too small. I was not happy with the situation and Crutchfield sent me another kit. Instead of using the OEM screws I used #8 screws. This time I slowly threaded the #8 screws into each hole, and I still got 1 nice split and a couple of minor ones. I then tried boring the holes out with a 5/32 drill bit, and that totally resolved the issue (using #8 screws) as I got no further splits. The other issue I had was the air conditioning/heat controls being pressed up against the lip of the hole in the new dash kit causing one of the buttons to stick. I filed the area down, and this resolved the issue. So in conclusion, this thing requires some extra work to get it in properly. I wish I could get an OEM aftermarket dash kit, but that does not appear to be an option on a 2010 Civic (at least per my local dealer). I want to give Crutchfield a big thumbs up for their support. They've been awesome both times I've contacted them with issues. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Did not fit my new stereo as expected: Couldn't attach alpine radio without removing outer metal shell, which means I'll have to remove the whole dash to access the back of the radio. I will be calling Crutchfield. Was this review helpful?

Color seems to match the interior as well, no complaints. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 It fits, however... Written By , New Mexico on Saturday, November 06, 2010 Installation was a breeze. The color matched as well. My only minor complaint is the angle of my new deck. It faces upward a bit rather than outward. I also would have liked to have the option of putting a plate over the opening rather than have another empty space. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The color is off by a few shades compared to the stock dash but not too noticeable. The fit for the clips were perfect. Had to file the opening around the AC controls as the buttons were sticking.

Yes | No 1 out of 5 Honda Civic Dash Adapter Written By Matthew, Houston, TX on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 This "adapter" is a poorly made thin and flimsy replacement for the factory dash. The plastic cracks when you bolt on your dash items (vent, lights, etc.) even if your careful. It never snapped into the dash properly, almost like it wasn't made for my civic.... Crutchfield is refunding my money, don't waste yours! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Fits and works Written By Sue, Eagle River, AK on Saturday, October 04, 2008 This fits and does the job. The color is good with my dark gray, and it pops right in. The receiver support is a bit lacking compared to what was holding my stock radio/cd player. This only has 2 screws on each side of the plastic brackets; the stock one was metal and completely supported the radio/cd unit on all sides. It's too bad it wouldn't fit into the Scosche unit. Also, instructions were lacking for this unit and for this part of the installation in the Crutchfield mastersheet instructions. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Honda Civic Dash Adapter Written By CJ, san diego CA on Saturday, September 06, 2008 I bought this for my 07 civic sedan the dark grey dashboard. The color is off by a few shades compared to the stock dash but not too noticeable. The fit for the clips were perfect. Now the hole in the dash for the stereo is where it gets tricky. For a regular single din stereo it fits well, but for a double din some adjustments need to be made. I actually needed to make the hole a little bit but cutting it with a saw. After the cutting the stereo fit good but wished I didnt have to go to all that extra trouble. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 dash kit Written By Ricahrd, US military UK on Saturday, August 02, 2008 Like everyone has said it is a tad light but you only notice if your look for it. I was very happy with the way it fit, very easy. The only thing i did not like is that the braces that hold in the deck are plastic, also the screws that came with my head unit were not long enought to reach threw the plastice and into the deck, I bought the kenwood DDX8017. Also the 2 8mm bolts were very hard to put back in becuse the plastic kept moving around. I just ended up leaveng them out! there is like 9 clips holding the deck in place. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
