Ok folks, please weigh in:
To anyone who doesn't know me I have an 81 (I think it's an "SE"?) There's no badging but I see some little differences between it and the other models: Velour seating, power steering, and AC, plus all the extra? side trim. I have no idea what the original radio/stereo set up was, when I got it someone had hacked at the door panels, and there was no original stereo, or dash speaker. Anyhow the mounting area where my stereo fits juts out and allows for a full size (DIN) stereo, as opposed to the "short DIN" ones that seem to be the norm. At first I thought it was just a plastic converter kit or something and figured I could take it out in order to put in a factory stereo (I've got 2 to choose from!) but in order to do that I'd have to use a flat aftermarket faceplate on the factory stereo...I know it's silly but I WANT that factory faceplate, with the HONDA labelling on it! The problem is the factory faceplate overlaps the front and would get in the way if I tried to install it into the stereo slot. Are 81's the ONLY ones with the stereo slot that juts out? Mine seems to be the only one I've seen that does it.
