Custom Fabrication

Hello all!

With the help of mmade22 and other excellent people on this forum I was able to install Dom's Nav2go along with the peripheral unit and the harness for XM.

However, I have currently zip-tied my DVD player to the navigation DVD player. I removed the stock piece of plastic in the trunk so that the DVD player will fit, however I am looking to either build a piece of send it out so that it looks factory.

So, right now I'm asking for tips about how to go about this. I'll post some pictures later, but what I did was remove the staples from the bottom piece of the passenger side wheel well padding in the trunk. I was going to take the piece I removed, create a piece of fiberglass by lining the old piece with fiberglass cloth (minus the top) and going from there. I also considered using a very thin type of wood and creating a box like structure.

Any suggestions are welcome. One thing that I tried looking for at AC Moore that they didn't have was a matching felt or interior color. Any ideas?

Thanks!

why not just screw it into the rear deck behind the ski pass through so people in the back seat can swap out the dvds?

I really, really like this idea. I like it so much that I'll probably do this.

Thanks so much! Other ideas were good too... however, I want it so that the interior is as stock looking as possible, and mounting it on the ski pass is perfect. I'll post pictures when I get to it =)

Why not mount it in the cubby hole under the radio? Seem pretty stock to me once you close the lid.

True, however I did the wiring already and don't want to bring the wires to the front... also, I like having functionality of all the storage in the cabin. I did think about this, but ultimately I decided against it.
