I was hoping for something to match the ICC but I guess this will do Gave the guy $5 for the offcuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might colour match it to the dash before I fit it, but the shape is alright. Here's a few pics showing what I made, where it fits in the dash, and how the stereo will sit.U should be able to see the lines I made on there where I need to cut it out for the deck.The light reflecting off it makes the leathergrain pattern look really coarse, but it's no more coarse than the pattern on all the dash plastic (ie the removable side pieces) so I think some colour matching matte grey paint should negate that reflection. I held the DVD surround up to show how it will sorta look.The next step is to add a couple of brackets for each side to secure it in place, and something to stop it from being forced forwards. I will use the two original screw points for the tissue box to mount the side brackets to, and probably make a couple of new holes for some more secure fittings. Then I will be adding the stereo cradle and rivetting it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a little bit of adjusting but I was going by sight...Inside the space... Under the facia...Bracket I fabricated...All panels fitted...I'm fairly happy with how it sits, I think I will definitely colour it to match the grey panels. Will see how the deck sits next I hope there's enough room at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
