4th gen dash mod for the pillar area?

What are the options for filling in that pillar area when swapping a 4th gen dash in, my current idea is painting some dark grey wrinkle paint on some textures ABS 1/8" thick plastic cut to shape and plastic expoxy'd into place. Any other options?

haven't quite gotten to this part of the swap yet myself, but some have grafted the 3rd and 4th gen pillars together to fill the area, others have made caps like you mentioned to cover the holes.

Re: 4th gen dash mod for the pillar area?

well i have the bottom 6" of the 4th gen pillars as well, unfortunately I also run the dual gauge pillar pod, so I really only would have 2" to work with and don't see either shape molding into the other rather easily. So unless I pick up some ideas on plastic molding , I guess the only choice is some caps. Anyone have some pictures of this being done saved on their computer?

Put Triple Pillar Pods on the driver and passenger sides.
