    DVD's bezel to be flushed in with bottom trimmed to fit over the top of the A/C controls

    First sanding with the "ears" expoxied in


    Nasty gaps due to cutting a lil big and compound curves.


    Remember the old school way of body working called "leading". Took some scrap plastic, lit it with a lighter and then pushed the melted plastic in to fill the gaps.


    sanded after using plastic weld.

    And the state it is in now waiting for the spot putty filler to dry and the backside of the DVD bezel loaded with expoy on the backside for extra strength.


    First 220 grit sanding


    second putty fill


    Day of final sandings and filling, going to use this textured black paint that I found at the local home center. After I find some filler primer that is plastic friendly. More to come!

    First coat of Rustoleum Textured Plastic Paint. Still shiny from being wet, dries matte.


    OK DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Final coat applied with A/C & top buttons attached. #1 trick make sure that you are 10-12" away (like instructions say haha) or the finish will be shiny!!


    And drumroll please!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't have a nav unit or 2xDIN, but I am thinking about filling in the extra pocket that the mounting kit for my new stereo has. Its small and pointless.

    I think I would pop for the $80 or so for a factory nav bezel. Your work looks awesome though. I don't have the skills for that.
