but was thinking cuz my uncle works at a bodyshop and he can do the bondo stuff for me, so if thats possible, i mite as well use my stock dash piece instead of spending 500 bux on a kit

hmm after a little reading, seems as though doing this would only affect my red display, but some kits say it will make my ac and heater not work, or does it just affect my display up top in the red? im confused o.O

with the corksport dash kit, your lcd still works. the clock and audio information does not work, however. The ambient temp will still display.

You will lose all HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) Controls. The factory radio has a module in it that these buttons and ***** use. Remove the radio and it doesn't matter if the ***** are still there, they won't work without the radio and that module. And no, ou can't take just the module out of the factory radio as it is hard wired.
The Corksport and soon enough Metra kits will come with a new module that will keep the HVAC controls working. That is why it cost 500 dollars for the Corksport kit. If it was a simple as getting a new face plate then everyone would have had a kit out by now.

just wait for the metra as I've already mentioned a million times lol, it will do everything you want for less than the corksport and without the gaps on the sides as well. You can fab your own dashpiece sure, but to keep everything working you'll have to keep the oem radio hooked up and relocated somewhere else in the car which is a HEEYUGE pain in the ****. (just ask me, this is the way we did mine) The metra kit should be out in 2-3 months roughly, that'll give you plenty of time to shop for a sweet *** radio to put in it
