Thanks for all the compliments guys. I used the lid of the ashtray (I took it all apart) along with some abs plastic to get the general shape and then just filled in with Rage Gold body filler and sanded from there.

nice job! Wish I had your custom fabbing skills.
lol.. i have that ugly 0.5 din opening in my car now. I personally could use a huge pocket for storing things instead of blocking it off since these cars don't come with much storage space up front.
looks crazy clean tho.

Very nice job but I have some criticisms about those flushed mounted in-dash dvd screens. Unlike the flip-out ones, the screens a little bit too low for our dash design. In spite of that, its a nice job
