Screen in, faceplate completed (pics)

Finally, the customized faceplate and steath screen are finished. Let me know what you think. Sorry for the pics quality.





And I tagged server pics of my car along.






EDIT: just want to give myself a thumb-up

I just removed the front bumper and mold the mesh to its shape. The mesh is held to the bumper by several screw. Couple important to keep in mind.
1. Be sure to keep the bumper on carpet not concrete.
2. Leave space to access the screw to remove the road lamps. You never know when the lamps decide to go out and you dont wanna remove the bumper to get to the lamps.
3. Buy a box of band-aid. You'll need those band-aids.

Nice! I think you need a little more aluminum inside though...it looks a little out of place with that being the shiniest thing in the interior..

I know. got silver gauses, silver metal, silver shift plate, silver box (in trunk), and now silver faceplate. I'll try to get aluminum trim pieces (just a few) to complete the silver scheme.

Absolute masterpiece. Please take some high res pics if possible (just post us a link .) Also, what specific brands / models are your two units? (HU / EQ) That would be nice as well. Job well done brother.

Tacky cover. Silver looks all out of place on that console. Other than that, the device itself looks cool.

But the other thing I noticed is that bigass wheelgap. :p

I thought the off-road package was standard on all CLs.
