Bought a 93 accord. need help with dash!

[wholiman]

I just bought a 93 accord. Before i bought it, it had been broken into and the bezel that goes around the cd player is cracked! Basically what ive got is a vacant hole where the CD player goes. What exactly do i need to get this repaired?! I'm not sure if I have the mounting brackets for the cd player or not? Anyone know where to get those?

i know i dont have a whole lot of information, but any info you guys can give would be greatly appreciated! I've never even seen the inside of an accord till i bought this one!

can you take a picture? the dash bezel surrounds the gauges, air vents, radio, all the way down to the ashtray and cig lighter. is that the part thats cracked? or is the radio assembly just missing?

good thing is, its all relatively cheap to replace. id say buy a used dash bezel (check out the For Sale section on here, but you need 30+ posts before you can post in the classifieds sections) or call local junkyards/salvage yards. once you have the main bezel replaced, you can get a CD deck installation kit from crutchfield.com or bestbuy that snaps right in, and lets you mount and install an aftermarket cd player pretty effortlessly. if you pick up a Haynes repair manual from autozone/advance auto, it explains step by step with pictures how to remove the dash bezel. people have also discussed it a few times, use the search tool at the top and try searching for things like "dash bezel" or "dash trim" ...

you could get the OEM radio mounting brackets, but they only work with the stock radio...

btw, welcome to cb7tuner! you should post up pictures of your new ride

no problem man. if you start looking for a new bezel, you might want to know that you can only use one from a 92 or a 93 accord. even though the 90 and 91 accords look and seem identical to most people, they arent. their bezels wont fit over your steering column where are you located?

When you installing the dash bezel remove the steering wheel column cover and it will fit without any problem!

We live like 1 1/2 hrs from a junk yard which doesnt usually have to many cb7s in it, maybe 1 once and a while if we get lucky. And i dont condone stealing, i hate people he steal. Specially for a part that isnt even more than 30 dollars. Karm is a bitch.

LOL! Thanks for all the good info EVERYONE!!! DOUGHNUT, I'll get ahold of you sometime this next week!

If everything goes through like its suppose to, i should have a 92 accord lx. So if you want the steering column we can work something out and if your bezel is broken too.
