Mod Question - Can/How would you Reverse the Postitions of Radio/AC in 89 Formula?
Hi, I have always preferred the look of a radio on top and the AC controls on bottom. I'm wondering how I could get it done in my 89 Firebird Formula 305. Also, if its possible, would this restrict possible 2-din installation? I was looking at this product and considering asking the same company whom made it to manufacturer one in reverse (with AC on bottom and 2 Din on top)

The Second Link (2nd Picture) Shows a touchscreen HVAC controller! They unfortunately are not made for Third Gens However I was considering buying anyway and getting the measurements, then having that custom radio bezel company do it all for me
What do y'all think?
EDIT: The reason they don't sell them for third gens is; if you notice, they come ONLY with a kit FOR A SPECIFIC vehicle. No stand alone for the HVAC touchscreen is available, which can be seen in the 2nd pic just above the 2 din touchscreen.

Re: Mod Question - Can/How would you Reverse the Postitions of Radio/AC in 89 Formula
Um, probably because the ONLY way to reverse the position of the radio and the HVAC on a Bird is to re-engineer the radio pod, especially for a double-DIN HU...
Camaros have it easier because the HVAC bolts to a bracket that bolts to the console. As opposed to the Bird setup being bolted straight to the radio pod...
