Thanks
The Headunit itself is mounted at an upward angle. This allows the screen to come out and not be interrupted by the shifter. The basic form is just mdf sanded and manipulated to hold the deck and fill the hole nicely. Then I used bondo (first time i might add) to make the hard edges go away and to add some contours to the form itself. Then i wrapped it in vinyl (first time also) I will take more shots of it and take it out to show its true form. I also plan on making a fiberglass mold for this and see if I can make a few for our fellow s2ki members whom want the ability to put in one of these units without cutting the dash or changing any facrtory anchor points. BTW the screen on this unit is able to be moved in and out and also different angles which helps in the whole installation. The only drawback is the vents are deleted in this install.

10 for trying something new

5/6 for how it looks... but in no way does this mean I don't appreciate the work you put into it. I for one totally understand the work involved

I'm just curious... what exactly is stealth about that? You can see the whole thing... its less stealth now than if he just left the radio door on.
