There is always the prelude and EK conversion. Allows for double din and only takes minor modding. It'll save you a ton. Heres a how to for the prelude one

They earlier prelude models came with a center oriented e-brake location if you don't want an offset one. The EK console also is center oriented.

Swap out the rest of your interior to black

i had a double din in my audio console. you can use the frame of the console and bolt the radio to that.

im out here in Tulsa.
Using an EK console will require some modding and i dont know how well that would look inside the EG
someone did the BB6 (?) or i guess the 92-96 Prelude center console and arm rest and it looks really nice.
i suggest just keeping an eye out for the Optional console. they can be found.

I know in my hatch when I bought the car they had a double din in it before. What the did, now keep in mind I have no AC or heater so I have no use for climate control, they had just cut the center piece between the deck and CC and was able to get a double din in. Hope this helps.
