Well i first installed this thing with a steak knife i found in my kitchen :hack:, and some tape.... and this is how it turned out:

You can see the gaps on the bottom, side, and how it was just :puke:


After a few weekends... i took another way about doing it... i had to do it twice cause the first time i did it, the screen was tilted :bawl: :guns:

here are the new pics:

This shows my mad paint skillz :LOL: ... aside from the dust and crap on it... it gives a great reflection (me lying down beside it on the sidewalk)

Cause i really didnt want to bother retexturing it and dying it.... so i figured i would paint it the most universal color i could think of... :charge:

Are you gonna paint any interior or dash parts black now, if not maybe you should so it won't stand out as much.

no fiberglass used... i just a 2 part plastic advesive/filler, polyster flexable body filler, and some spot puddy.. then plenty of primer and paint. I think i may make another to sell, if i do that, i will make a howto probally...

probally costs about $225 to make cause i used a cheap screen

put it in your dash then make a center console to house your cd player and a/c panel... or make a console to house the screen...

Looks good Luke. Very nice paint job. I may have to invest in a paint set-up for messing around like that. I already have the compressor. Yours turned out really good.

I'm thinking about getting the same one, but painting it to match the rest of the console.

btw, this screen has been posted on here before.... a lot of you are so surprised to see it :)

95-02 with that console that only came in 99+ haha

thats what i was thinking, neways, people on here should be smart enough to be able to identify their console with the one in the picture, if they dont look the same, dont get them.

I suppose they assume you just buy the center console and put in your obs
