Well 90% done, I just have to re-do my seats. :biggrin:
This is how my console was, the previous owner cut out the middle and had a panel w/ a flip out tv in the middle, always hated that. Plus it was silver, which I hated even more.
So I bought a new Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD and an Oem console from a prime member. Here it is w/ the middle pieces cut out:
I used Loctite Plastic Epoxy to form the sides.
I built the side walls up a bit because the tv has a lip at the bottom where the buttons are so I wanted the top of the screen and the lip to fit flush so the screen is at an angle and not flush w/ the console.
Next I removed the back of the ashtray assembly and the part where the cig lighter goes so I can fit my EDFC.
Then I had an old modem I had laying around that I thought would be perfect to form the face of my EDFC housing.
Epoxied in the housing.
Test fitting everything before Bondo.
After the Bondo:
After sanding:
Primed:
Last minute i decided to add a usb port.
Painted all the pieces in the car semi-gloss black.(Some pc's are not pictured)
The end result:
This is as far as the door opens, I have to take it back out and sand it down so I can access the usb port.
Re-did the leather on the door panels myself a few months ago
Special thanks goes to cwood1388 for pointing me in the right direction!
