You can use your factory mounts on the space where the hvac controls used to be. You'll have to use a kind of u-clips to make the holes usable with a screw. I can send you instructions on how to do this. Email me.

 

i finally found some type of speed clips that would work thanks tho my next question is did anybody have any problem with the headunits trim not working with the japan parts dd i have a jvc kw-av60 i read the thread where one guy said he used one from a civic to cover the gap anymore info? thanks.

 

Speed clips is the correct name for the u-clips I mentioned. For the gap between the dd and the jp trim, search ebay for "kenwood trim" and you'll find an oversized trim that you can cut to size to cover the space.

 

Sweet ill search it thanks again for all the help.

 

This is still by far one of the best, easiest, and not too costly, DIY for any evo owner that wants a double din!!!!! mine is still looking nice to this day.

 

just now getting my car back in my hands i am using a jvc kwav50 head unit do you think that trim will still work ? i am so happy with how it all turned out just gotta fix that gap.

 

is this what i need or are there other styles thanks for all the help thus far.

That will fill the space behind the jdm 2 din trim and the insides will not be visible. If what you mean is that you want a more flush like look between the trim and the hu, then it will be a bit difficult. I used that trim to hide the insides, which was all I wanted, but the trim would need some custom fab work to make it look flush.

 

Nope its plenty flush how it is for me just wanted to fill in the gap thanks.

 

I did this myself and ti turned out great!

 

Excellent write up! I knew there would be one around here, and the funny thing is, it looks pretty simple. Anyone could do it. thank you OP from many moons ago for posting this!

when you moved the ac controls did u have any problems with cables when u relocated it?

 

I know this is years old but I just roared laughing when I read this! Gold, pure gold!

 

Wow its been almost 6 years since i post my HOW To HVAC unit mod and looks like there are still old and new evo owners around that's doing it. Its a great feeling that i can give at lease a little contribution to my former evo community. Thanks to all for the kind word and appreciation. I hope some day i can own again one of the best car i owned.

 

Everything goes in this weekend:





I have the hvac stickers as well but forgot to take pics.
