06 accord vfd

Hi,

look at this picture

I have 06 accord without navi but I want that vfd display on top of the AC vent

I found the panel at hondapartshcheap.com
it's number 8 in the picture.

The problem is, will it fit?
I don't want to spend 50bucks for the top panel just to find out it doesn't fit.

If it's fits then I buy it, measure the lcd opening, then find the vfd that will fit

the vfd will display song information and speed
so I can have those digital speedometer 8th civic owner had

I found the panel removal instruction here

I'll just remove the panel and see by myself tomorrow.
hope it fits..

Its a slight bit different.

If you look on www.driveaccord.net, there is a user called nexson that was using a screen in the half din there. Shows how it looks.

thanks a lot man.
I think I'll order the top panel pretty soon.

I haven't be able to remove the top panel since it's pretty hard to do

I just opened the top panel (with tons of sweat)
there's so much space up there I can even mount a computer

project vfd is a go.

well... after I got my screen refabricated, then after that..

Keep us updated. Looks like it will be fun.

BTW, here is what I was talking about.

Thanks
I just got back from the dealer fixing the infamous honda rattle.
They ordered a new door panel and they'll install it a week from now or so.

The vfd project is onhold until the rattle is gone..
