Look at my...

...install of my touch screen tv/radio. I am not done but here is what I have done so far.

I took the trim ring to the tv and glued it into a aftermarket install kit (it cam with a single DIN and a pocket) Then filled it in with rubber bumer repair.


Here I sanded it down and primered it.

Here it is on the radio and A/C controls.

Just another view.
Next I will paint it to match the grey around the A/C controls.

Tell me what you think.

Thread Hi-Jacker lol
No problem, the more the better. I'll share.

As stated before I used rubber bumper repair to mold the face plate in, because it is made to flex and not crack. You can use Bondo, but some times it cracks. I have made a bunch of things this wat and it works very well.
