I got a little bit of help from some people on this forum and I just went for it. I think it turned out pretty good! Tell me what you think!






I am dont done with the faceplate. I need to fix some of the corners!

 

Looks good so far. What kind of head unit are you using? Happy with it?

 

Valor.....Its good for the price but I would rather have a pioneer.

 

that looks really good. how are you planning on finishing the texture on it?

 

Thanks! Truck bed liner texture paint.

 

Not bad at all.

 

For something a little nicer for final appearance, take a look at this guys page, he's pretty good with stuff like this, the texture coat and then paint route that he does would probably turn out a lot better once you are done.

Looks good.

 

Love it man

 

Love it!
This is something I'm going to do too! Glad to see more people attempting this (makes it easier for me to do later

 

How did you do it?

 

very nice, trying to think of a new consol idea myself, nice touch

 

you learn well grasshopper. make sure you sand off all the texture off the abs before you repaint it

 

Don't like it. Not because I don't like your work, I've just never liked the look of double din units crammed into the space where a din and a half was originally. IMO the only way to make it look right is to relocate the heater controls to have a more consistent border around the radio.

 

looking good so far. i know this takes some work to get done right, keep at it. I'm planning on doing something similar with my 4th gen dash, so i grabbed an extra bezel to experiment on (or destroy miserably, whichever happens first)

 

looks good

 

im actually thinking of doing the same thing but building the enclosure about the a/c controls since it still works in that kinda awkward open area under the air vents next to the cluster. but very nice bro.
