[ChitownNSX]

Well this was my winter project from January through March when the NSX Would make it back on the street. I have just been enjoying summer so much that I never took the time to take some pictures of the installation and let you guys check out my handy work!!

Damn nice........Very clean install..I am in process of my stereo, everyone seems to be going double din installs. I think the double head units ,look nice too!!!:smile:

 

[Ko-nsx]

i 've got a complete stereo system in the garage with a nav unit, tht i have yet to install. Is that the bet the nav pod will fit on the dash? was it easier to install 2 din units over the double din? Looks nice.

Ian, this was a SOS console replacement so it came assembled with the AC/ handbrake and Shifter Cut out. I had to drill 4 holes for the Climate Control Fan and create mounting brackets on the back side of it for the factory parts to reconnect to the console and make it all work right. The hardest cut out was the double din because it was larger and overlaped the shoty fit of the SOS part and I had to cut it in half where the cut out was larger than the SOS Part and use some small 1"x8Xsteel plates to make it strong enough to hold up to daily use. This is what took the longest of anything and really almost drove me to tears.. LOL

The fit and finish of the part from SOS was really not great at all (infact it sucked) and I had to widen the whole part by 1/4 inch, (1/8 on each side) to make it look right, in the coming winter I am going to modify the top of it so the nav pod sits more flush as well as the volt meter, right now it sits up a little bit as you can see from the pics!

Thanks for the complements. It took me a while and I like how it turned out!

Nice work, I'm in the middle of doing almost the same:smile:
Hope to post my finished car soon

where did you put the dock for the blackbird?

 

[ChitownNSX]

I put the dock for the Black bird in the trunk on the driverside wheel well hump. It shows very little in these pictures because it blends in with the black carpet.

Looks great. You have skills!

Is your rear view camera in your trunk keyhole?

How is the sound compared to stock?

 

[03 raw nsx]

How did you mount your JDM Pod?
Did you use screws?

 

[ChitownNSX]

It is not mounted yet, This coming winter I have to do some minor work on the console part to make it fit just right. Even though with 3k miles of driving It has not moved from its pressure fitted location and i dont' know if I want to screw into the dash... So if it bugs me and starts coming loose all the time I will lock it down or find a way to snug it down with out using screws in the dash

The sounds is no comparison to stock. Sounds really great, Smooth clean and super loud! I am looking for a better 10" sub to keep up with the mids though! Ill just wait for this one to bite the dust.

Someone, I forget who, used double sided tape. I thinking about making a plate the same shape as the forward edge and silconing it to the bottom of the screw bases then using 2 inch velcro tape.

Gotta say - very nice work.....Relatively bling free too (I don't like bling).

SICK!!!




all I want is my pos oem head unit to work would you happen to have one for sale???:tongue:


pm if so:smile:

 

[wrx-killer]

Looks really nice. Not a fan of pulling amp power directly from the alternator. It might give you alternator whine and stress the alternator. But other then that good job.

 

[sokudo88]

very creative project.......well done! thumbs up !

03 raw NSX,

How is the picture/video quality of that VTL-300 license plate camera? Do you have any images of it in action?
