Update:
Well I finished all the cutting/trimming. I was originally hoping to be able to trim the mount enough to fit it without cutting the factory bezel. I also wanted to save the factory fabric if possible. This turned out to not be feasible. So I bit the bullet and started hacking everything together. It was a tight fit but I made it work. The factory bezel was trimmed on the sides right to the AC vent mounts and the top was trimmed around 3/8 inches. I also had to trim the lower radio bezel in order for the mount to sit deep enough. The next step is to fuse everything together, sand, bondo/filler, sand, prime and paint. The end product will be worth the extra time. This picture is with everything sitting together. Nothing has been molded yet. It gives a very rough idea of the final product. I anticipate another 6-8 hours of labor to get it ready for paint. Being a perfectionist is time consuming. ![]() Quote:
