Awsome I've been thinking about doing this for a long time now.. Does it have to be the 96-98 cup holders? I like my 99-00 ones better
Yes

What are some of the benefits of doing this. Does it make it harder to steal the radio? Also why not leave the stock radio in at the top so that if a thief is doing a "walkby" he will only see a stock radio and keep walking.

I just did the swap today in my 98 civic and it turned out great, i decided that maybe instead of putting in a blank plate i was going to try using fiberglass with a reverse civic sticker and having red behind it for a little added interior flare. Maybe maybe not depends on how gutsy i am.

I like the idea but can't think of anything to put up top in its place........stock cd player........just a waste to me and solid looks crap.........ideally a tv but then the $ vs college issue.................anything other than a tv to go there? I think its the only thing that would really look "right."

Sweet how To man! Im thinking about doing the same thing. and to answer your question about what might look good in the stock location. This is probably what ill do, get a block off plate and mount my V-AFC in it. How do ya'll think that would look/work?

im about to do that soon also, as soon passwordjdm.com ever sends me my damn cf block off plate. i been waiting for a month now. they dont even give me a email confirmation or any kind of email at all and not even call me for the shipping delay cause they had to order me a new one from japan. freaking liars, they told me they had one left in stock when i made the call to order it. the cf block off plate is the onlything i have left to get before i put my system in. i got my deck, the cupholder, the optional ashtray and cig lighter, my jl interior speakers, and my amp and wiring.

the only bad thing is that the "lid" on the 96-98 cupholder gets sticky and doesnt like to open/close sometimes, or think about having a drink in the cupholder, and having to remove it every time you need to change the station on your radio.

get all of the parts listed to do the radio install and the vafc fits in there perfectly. You can then fabricate a piece of cf to go around the rest of the area if you want, or you can leave it alone and be able to take out the vafc whenever you want to or lower it down under to hide it.
