DASH SETUP - Thought I'd Share ... (56K WARNING)
This was last week's project....
DAY 1
Metra Kit 99-6503
what I used...
all set into place after cutting...
Radio relocation set...
DAY 2
day 2 start off...
17"x21" ABS sheet (Metra)...
screen bought from local IFX member...
fitting new template...
cutting down bezel...
DAY 3
new bracket cut out, screen and buttons mounted...
fitting on non-mounted dash...
DAY 4
old dash taken out for swap...
gutted front...
center vent blocked off w/ duct tape...
had to cut down a bracket so radio would fit snuggly...
evrything in and FINAL PRODUCT
took about 4 days but it looks good for now. Noticing after the install, i need to cut behind the screen a bit more on the ABS to reveal more back and then add a little electric computer fan for cooling. Reason it that the colors get a little messed up when heated but hey thats what i get for paying $50 for a screen. Eventually I'll replace it with a better quality 5" screen. does me good except that i wish the EClipse AUX had a bit more volume for movies and the PS2 but I'll manage for now. Also I'm going to make the front a little bit more cleaner in the near future as well.
