96-98 Civic OEM Clock

Some people might need to remove part of the trim around your CD player, or the CD player (as I did) in order to remove the cubby. Some of the cubbies have a ledge that slides under the edging of the CD player. Mine does, but Eran's doesn't for example.
Your CD player install kit should have come with several pieces of black plastic trim to install. Some people might have installed theirs to be flush with the outside of the dash, some might be set back a little deeper into the dash.
This is how mine looked like before. You could not remove the cubby because the trim on the CD player hung over the lip of the cubby.
Then I removed that outside piece. Now the CD player is recessed into the dash slightly as compared with the previous more flush mounting. You can now see the edge trim on my cubby though. Erans is installed the same way, but it does not have that outter lip on the cubby like mine does. I'm not sure why there is a difference. Without that trim piece the cubby can easily be removed.
When I remove the cubby, this is how it looks now. As you can see that is the way the trim looks around the clock.

thanks. i want this clock too but not as bad as jezek i think i think it just pulls out. i remeber accidentally pulling mine out before. i got my cellfone stuck in it.Jezek said:good s**t amy...but again, does the cubby just pull out or are there tabs that hold it in?
damn....$100 is a lot, but I want it SO bad
The cubby just pulls out. There are two metal clips on top of it. I was going to take photos of mine, but the clips are broken on mine. I still have one clip and could repair it, but the other metal clip I can't even find.

Well so far one of the guys looked at a honda dealer for me, they're about 70 US dollars. That kinda sucks but he also told me something strange, they have amber and white... and green! lol Who wants a jdm green clock? He's gonna go to the junkyards for me on saturday.
yeah thats the price brand new from the honda dealership. plus shipping and a little something for my efforts 
i'm interested to see what he finds in the junkyard, the other guy is just waiting for the weather to clear up then he'll be checking too

As amy said, certain models have the trim piece and the cubby that has the piece that the trim clips into. I think it has to do with having keyless. The faceplate of the stock radio is different, and thus clips in different so you have a different cubby.
Mine does not have the extra piece with the two holes and the padding.
