Center console swap

Hourofpain · October 12th, 2008, 02:06 PM

Has anybody here changed out the double slot single din center bezel to the double din style bezel?

How much Cutting was involved?

any thoughts, suggestions, comments, or advice is appreciated

there should be no cutting involved.

I swapped mine for one from a mach 1 and it bolted right up. Oddly, the back does not sit flush with the driveshaft hump though....

I modded my single din from my 96GT to a double din to fit my 7" LCD monitor. Used 3M's plastic bumper repair to make the mold, and relocated the HVAC.

damn that looks nice.... i wish i had your expertise... or i wish i had the funds to pay for your expertise....

It wasnt to hard really, well once I used the right materials. I tried using bondo first, and that did not work at all. That 3M stuff works really well. Goes on like butter, dries to a hard platic that you can sand and mold. I thought about making them and selling them on ebay, but I actually molded the bezel of the LCD into the radio bezel itself, so I would have to buy the LCD and bezel to sell them. I made sure to buy a LCD that was popular, so if it ever dies, I can buy another on on eBay and just replace the screen. I am happy the way it turned out.

It was part of my Carputer I installed. It always freaks people out when they get in and see the Windows XP start up screen
