that looks great so far cant wait to see the finished pics. Im hoping to do something similar soon

 

you definitely need to put the GPS ant under the dash cap. Dont worry it will work fine.

 

Yes - here is my 2007 QC 5.7 4x4 with a Double Din Kenwood. I even did a double power outlet as i dont smoke and didnt need a lighter.

 

yea RH, you can cut yours to make it fit, but will have those holes from the volume/channel buttons. I messed up and got a flip out 1 1/2 din, wish I woulda gotten the double din. Just installed one in my buddies dodge. Just dremeled the center bar out of the bezel and I cut some abs plastic for those holes

Looks good OP, how much was that HU

 

Here we go... Got it all done today, took about 8 hours total to do the dash bezel start to finish.

First I cut the opening to size and Gorilla glued plastic pieces to the sides.


I taped off the area to be bondo-ed then bondo-ed it. I wanted to keep the texture of the bezel from that crease down, and have just from there up be smooth.


First layer sanded down with 80grit and then I checked for placement.


2 more layers of bondo and sanding were done to get it perfect and here it is after the final sanding.


Wiped it all down with a lacquer thinner and masked it all off.


Primer.


Painted flat black and installed.


I am happy with the way it turned out. The only thing left im gonna do is sand it down with a fine sandpaper like a 900 or 1000 and give it a final coat. I'm really proud of this whole install. What'yall think?

 

I think you did a damn good job. Sticky for sure!

Do you only have bondo filling in the sides or is it some abs also?

 

Yes, on the sides I glued in some ABS and then bondo-ed over them.

 

okay I see it now, the pic wasnt up a minute ago. Anyway, looks great. I wish I woulda got the double din for sure, so much cleaner

 

nice job glad you have the old style dash the o6's have that dumb squared out area on the pass side thats well I have no idea what it's for I might want too bondo that closed. Does anybody no what i mean

 

are you talking about the circles where the volume/tune buttons are or the little cubby hole where the 4x4 switch is on the L side and nothing on the R
