I have a Alpine Flip out screen 801 and a DVD player. I want to install this into my 02 Acura TL Type S, however I want to keep the clean look of the dash. Is there any dash kit out there which will seemlessly match with the existing stock setup? Whats out there that you guys know about?

Thanks,
Jas

 

Welcome!

there the Metra Kit which you can get at your local shop. I would recommend sanding it down with various grit sand paper before the installation, this matches the stock finish almost exactly.

the other option is to Private Message StreetEffectz, who is a vendor on this board, and have him make you a custom dash kit.

 

Off the shelf dash kit.

Seamless look.

Which of these things...

Dude, you're even in the Garden State. S/E can set you up...

 

heres pics of my dash if you want to get a idea

Not bad, but too much empty space.
Well atleast in my case I have two things (Alpine Flipout & DVD) to fill the space.
I want a cleaner look then that.

I need the "Seamless" look.

 

Go to StreetEffectz.

Here's my Alpine 9851 in an '02 TL-S. I don't miss the stock HU at all. Just got my PAC so I can use my steering wheel controls. Will install this weekend.

 

Hokie, keep us posted on hte steering wheel control install, I might be lookin to dothat in the future

 

Harsh,
It may be better to tell us what you are not going to so..it'll be a shorter list

 

1) no spinners, or any rims above 18"
2) no aluminum trunk wing
3) no indash screens
4) no remote start
5) no satellite radio


thas all i can think of for now

 

Yep, no spinners even though my kid wants them... No aluminum wing, indash screens, remote start.... Also, don't forget -> No fartpipes of any kind will be making their way on my Honda.

Satellite radio, got it. Very clean install.

 

Very nice clean setup man. Clean is beautiful. Where can I get that dash kit from?

what is the best kit for modding a 1/4din HU, and Vafc 2 together?

thank you!

 

Sorry to say, I can't even SEE his dash kit... the pic looks kinda dark to me, sorry.

 

Looks like a Metra kit to me, no?

 

 

Yep, Metra kit. I sanded it like Dark recommends. I used the bottom slot in the kit for my Infinity Basslink and Alpine remotes.
