8" touchscreen, molded the lcd into the stock bezel. I am letting the paint cure overnight and then putting it back together. Painted it flat black, looks great!

Please post up some pics of it in the car along with maybe some info on how you went about making it.

where are you putting the heating and ac controls???

**ls1bandit** · 06-12-2008, 09:49 PM

as of right now i dont have the a/c controls installed, simply because my a/c doesnt work, once i get it working i will relocate it to the glove box. Also i wont have any pics yet because i have to reinstall my carpc since some wires came loose and i had to ship it to get it serviced, once i re-install it i will post up some pics. I can take some pics tomorrow of what it looks like in the ride without the pc running.

Making it wasnt all that hard, i took the factory bezel, cut off the bar and used putty and epoxy to adhere it to the lower part of the bezel, i filled in the gaps with some more putty. Then i took my dremel with a cutting wheel and trimmed down the sides. I took the touchscreen apart and placed the outer bezel of the screen inside the bezel i cut to fit. Using more putty and epoxy i adhered the 2 bezels together. After it dried i sanded like crazy until it was all smooth, shoot it with some primer and then a flat black paint and it was good to go. A few tips i learned is do NOT handle until the paint has cured for a couple of days, i have a few gouges in it now from handling it too soon. Also when you re-install the components on the screen you will need to file down around the button area on the bezel as the paint will make it a tight fit and some of the buttons might get stuck. All in all it wasnt to difficult, just time consuming.
