What color dash kit do I need to buy? I know noob question..

firebirdude · 06-24-2009, 03:37 PM

I registered on this board because I'm helping a friend do some audio work in her brand new 2009 Metallic Blue Civic LX with medium grey cloth interior. After reading your guys FAQ index and using the search function, I'm still a little unsure.

#1 Unsure about the color itself. Is the Metallic blue dash kits really blue? So are the choices basically grey, blue, and beige? Because then it's obvious. For some reason I'm thinking the blue and grey are close in color. If they're not even close, then her car is the gray color.

#2 Which aftermarket manufacturer has the closet color match for the grey? I've read through the search function that many people are happy with the Scosche color match, but still others argue that only the OEM kit is a close match.

#3 For the OEM option. The search feature got me part number 77250SNAA01ZA for "grey". But when I enter that into College Hills Honda, the description says "Gun Metallic 2006-2008". First off, I thought the color was Dark Atlas? Secondly her car is an 09. Third, it's only $26 when I heard people stating that it was around $70. Is there a different part number I should be looking for? Lastly, does the OEM kit come with provisions for BOTH single and double-din options like the aftermarket ones do? She currently has a single-din that she wants installed, but is looking to buy a nicer double-din 6 months down the road.

Can someone please answer at least #3 for me? We're holding up the whole install for this.

I would if I could as I have no clue.

I paid $30 for mine off this site (Honda OEM) used and that included shipping from the US to Canada and the color is ever so off, I don't even notice it anymore.
