Thumbs down JDM Bezel how did you modify it to fit?

Hey guys, I want to put a screen in my car with a jdm bezel and I have seen some pictures of it put simply in the same way as JDM (but it would be facing the driver not passanger)... can this be done? Will it sit flush?

If not, what have you done to it? Pics?

Cant you just flip it upside down (180 degrees), and heat it some to make it sit flush?


Thanks!

you should PM s4play. I saw one in his car...pretty clean. I believe he did an entire thread on his installation.

Its a HUGE pain in the ass. Depending on your application it just might be easier to start from scratch. s4play started from scratch. John did mine but mentioned that its probably not worth it.

I did ideugene's... which in his case was a pita because we molded a couple of guages into the dash and had to ship it. I tried to make the JDM bezel fit but it just doesn't fit properly. You can add to it with filler but its just wouldn't look right. In the end it would look like a mistake. It is tricky though to make one and take it off and ship it... but building one for a monitor will be much easier.

I'd be willing to do it for you but I need to find another dash to built it on, as I ruined the one I had building ideugene's. Do you have a monitor you want to mount already inhand?



ideugene's did you ever mount that in your car? PM a picture of it mounted if you did.
