It depends on if u have manual or auto climate control but I have the manual and I have an aftermarket head unit which is very easy to get a fascia for. Metra dash kits! U can google that if that's what you're looking for.

its not to replace the stock headunit. its an additional gps only unit slot. that's incorporated into the fascia instead of sitting ontop and getting in the way and making your dash look awkward. and I have the manual air con knobs. but that link is very close thanks sje0123. I've been looking at a lot of Korean koups and they look great imo. thanks for the help

Oh ok sorry man I didn't fully understand what u wanted...I've only seen the big fascia that goes on top that u don't like but with an external gps, usually it's just mounted on the windshield via suction cups but I'm assuming u didn't want that..

its all good man. just explaining more clearly. nah I really like the look of how this is integrated into the dash. it doesn't pop outta the top coz it comes down into where the hazard button is. it'd be a nice addition. and maybe customise it later on and have two screens in there. : )

Koreanautoimports.com

It doesn't stick that far up, I use it for my boost gauges. It's actually nice and eye level

eye level? lol That would block your view of what's in front of the car. I doubt it's that high but much higher than what he linked in the OP. You that short?

The one in my link above is the exact thing pictured in the OP. Find a source in Korea or contact them and hope they speak english and you've got it.
