Screen Molding part II

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 2:34 am

Some of you should remember where i left off. I got the screen mounted & i needed to relocate the head unit.

heres a before pic on what things use to look like

If you look below the bezel you will see my cig lighters(4 of them) thats where the head unit is going.

Thats it for now. i ordered a new beauty ring that im waiting on to come in. then that will be molded in as well. i just couldn't help myself & i wanted to see what the finished product will look like, so i wrinkled textured it. I have to do some wirering now & some cutting to do behind the new spot for the head unit. so i'll get some installed pics after its all said & done

Wow, that looks really good. I wish my glassing would turn out that well. But practice is getting me a little better. About how much time is invested in the screen mold thus far?

i wanna say maybe 12 hrs or so. it was over a 3 day span to make it.

I changed the color of the bezel & installed the defrost switch. I still have to put the screen in but i couldn't help a test fit. I also installed the head unit & its low lol. I've got to get use to it but im very happy with it

While i was at it, i decided to get rid of the Gear letters on my shifter ring. I like it alot better without them there

To be honest you could do it, its that easy

Are you going to sand/smooth it out anymore? Looks to be a lot of imperfections where the fiberglass is. Looks good from far away, but the close up pics dont look very good.

I would have cut a hole out around the shifter and then made a shifter boot instead of fibergalssing over the gear letters. I think it would have gave it a cleaner "sport" look. Just my opinion. Great work none the less.
