Where the hell was that kit two years ago when I made mine from scratch?? LOL. I didn't notice any mention in their ad, of the fact that you still have to "tuck" the factory changer in order for your HVAC to work. Does look really clean though.

That looks horrible. I'd laugh if I saw this in a 2IS dash.

For the eBay unit or the OP unit, if your talking about the OP, it's the 1999 mustang controls at the top, if you're talking about the eBay one, the hvac controls are separate from the cd changer, but it all works together....

Well it arrived today!

The build quality is solid, its not flimsy plastic like some dash kits tend to be. I don't have any idea on fitment yet, but if its anything like the build quality, I'm sure it'll be just fine. My only gripe is that the color is pretty off...it has a greenish/yellowish tint to it rather then a purplish/greyish tint like OEM, so i'll definitely have to do some color matching. Overall I'd give it a 8/10. Looks like its from Japan the bag it came in had Japanese writing all over it.

No, it appears to be the exact same size of the lower unit when I hold it in front of it. The picture is just for a color comparison.
