Ok, so the craig hardy panel is here, and I'm needing to move my radio down to the little cubby hole under the hvac controls. I know I need the radio relocation kit but even after reading the threads here on it I'm still confused as to which I need. I have an aftermarket kenwood stereo, do I need


part #MZ598263EX which is about 50$ from mitsubishiparts.net and is listed as Install Kit

OR

part #MR626799 which is about 15$ from mitsubishiparts.net and is listed as Panel+instrument

I just need a clear 1st one or 2nd one answer to move my deck down to the lower opening. Thanks guys

 

The Install kit.. The panel is the gauge panel for the triple gauge kit..

 

Thanks for the quick reply..guess I'll run up to my local dealership tomorow to see if they might have it in stock otherwise I'll order it from mitsubishiparts.net.

 

you should have gotten it in CF:

 

Hey Joel, who sells it in cf?

 

where did u get that cf piece???? and the radio kit for bottom??

what about the gauge pannel??

 

The fit on that CF panel is really poor compared to the Craighardy one. Look at the gap at the top!

 

Ok, so wait a second, now you people are telling me i only need the 15$ kit to move my kenwood deck down there?!?!? Which is it?!

 

I think with most if not all aftermarket head units, you can get away with MR626799. It worked for me.

 

Yep, JTB is right. That carbon fiber panel is going to rattle its way off the dash.

 

I, however, do like the TT in place of the hazard switch. How did you do that?

 

JTB calm down - no one said that was my car. The owner of that CF Craig Hardy panel is Craig Hardy himself. Craig Hardy is selling his evo in the privatefor sale section, and this was a picture that he posted of his car. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=craig+hardy

 

Ummm.. Calm down? You must have taken something I said the wrong way.

That is interesting that that is Craig Hardy's car. The top edge is poor compared to my non CF panel I bought from him -- just an observation. I think the TT mount is one of the cleanest I have seen.
