i just got my first car, 96 integra which runs great but has some minor things id like to fix.http://s296.photobucket.com/user/AustinJHart/library/?view=recent&page=1

as you can see I'm missing where a radio would go so if anyone could suggest how to put one in would be appreciated.

also one of my license plate lights is kind of just hanging there so if anyone could suggest how to fix it as well as the hole where the interior lights are because i have no clue what it is/was.

thank you for your time/help

pictures are linked above.

For the radio get an after market one and get a metra installation kit.

http://www.crutchfield.com is a good place to browse, You might find whatever you decide to buy cheaper elsewhere, but it's still a good place to start.

Also be sure and get the harness plug.



Don't hack up the plug in the car, Many people do that and it's so annoying because half the time the connections get loose and speakers stop working. Plus it's so much easier to wire the plug to the radio outside of the car on a workbench or something then just plug it right into the car. ;)

Their 7890 kit has a spot for a 1/2 DIN EQ, the 7892 kit has a pocket instead.

Ebay is likely to be the cheapest place to find these kits and the wire harness you need.

My bumper light brackets are rusted away too, failed an inspection because of it. I used one of these metal straps to remount them: http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/bestconnections/media/105metalbackstrap_zpsd7a9f2c6.jpg.html

Just took one, cut it to smaller pieces to the needed legnth, and used some speaker screw clips to screw them to the metal strap: http://www.applerescueofdenver.com/wp-content/uploads/a2e-case-screw-clips.jpg
