started working on a little project today..

so my plans were to start working on project double din after work. unfortunately, my father got rushed to the hospital and is potentially going into emergency surgery to fix two hernias... long story short, i got about 45 minutes into this job so far... its a a/c bezel out of a 2004 gt. only thing i shouldve gotten as well was the shifter bezel as the 04s and the 95s dont match at all... but so far so good.

heres a before, during and after picture. ill tell ya it was a PITA to take out as i didnt know where was a brace that ran from the bezel back to a metal post behind where the cd player sits. obviously i broke it lol

when i took out the a/c bezel there were two tabs sticking out on each side, i shouldve taken pictures of it but i didnt think of it... took a small saw to it and chopped them right off.. the two tabs sat basically between where the cd player and the pocket is. as you can see in the pictures where there are empty button holes, i am just going to have to trim in there to make sure the buttons fit. the bezel from the 04 came with 2 blanks and a rear defrost.. i MIGHT wire up the defrost button, i think it would be cool to delete it from where it usually sits..

so far so good. what are you going to do about the non-matching paint color?

made some more progress today ill post some pics hopefully a little later... well the clips that hold the shifter bezel in place all broke. it was always a little wobbily but the clips have finally snapped completely off... so i might even need to get a new center console... going to see if i can grab the 04 shifter bezel off the guy who i bought the a/c bezel off of and see how bad it color clashes with the rest of the interior. worst case ill have my painter paint them up for me, probably a semi-gloss block or what have you...

still need to finish up a few things but got it in there for the time being. looks and sounds great.

those are actually stock gauges... just with a brushed aluminum trim...

the guy i bought the bezel off of had 2 blanks and a defroster in there... but i got to cut out some of the plastic that is some what visible in the holes to make some room for clearance.. believe it or not lucio, the tv is holding up very well even without the bracket you made me
