Im one of those ppls that dont like the eg dash (to put it nicely) altho im in love with egs. been searching a little and found little on this topic but yeah, seems like a gr8 idea. integra and del dol dashes dont fit properly so wouldn't it look sick with an ek dash that fits like a charm? does anyone know of any complications with this and has this been done before? :wave:

If you got money and time its possible.

Even seen DC5R dashes in EGs.

ek dashes are ugly too.

delsol and tegra dash fit better then an ek. They are almost bolt in.

??? are u abs sure?
a few other ppl say ek dashes fit perfectly (although doesn't bolt right in i dun think). do u mean it fits right (dimensions are same as eg dash) but doesnt bolt up or do u mean doesnt fit right and doesnt bolt in? :confused:

with the DC2 dash, it fits pretty well i reckon, its just if u wanna put the DC2 doors on, thats where it becomes difficult and u end up having gaps. Theres a DIY on this on honda-tech..

not sure about the EK dash into EG, but personally id prefer the DC2 interior, much nicer than EK

dc/delsol will fit in with less difficulties. u will have to fab up some mounts but everything else will line up and bolt in.

ek dash however will be more of a headache.

note that dc/delsol have the same chassis build as the eg.

lol.. doubt anyone does, and if they do they would want money for it more than likely. i think your gonna have to try the wreckers dude..

i reckon your spot on there zelda i never thought of it that way, good point.. the dc/eg/delsol have the same chassis built so u would think they would fit better than the ek

Sorry, no idea dude. Not sure on the availability of them either. I think if u are willing to spend a bit of money on it, go for it :)

I reckon if i ever get around to it and arent spending money on other parts of my car, i might try DC2 dash into EG, the only put off for me though is the doors
