Thank you, sir. That was exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to use Plasti-dip, I don't get off pavement very much. Actually it doesn't get out of the garage much, I put about 2k a year on her....

Thanks everybody. I am so happy how this turned out. I'm an Apple fanboy, so I've wanted to do this for a long time. I'm glad I finally got it done, now I'm searching for the next project. I'm...

243924402441Here it is cut and fitted into the bezel. Next I cut a double din opening in the back to access my deck when the iPad is out.
