Goodness now I'm really torn. I was considering trying to put an original radio back in the car; now I might rather do this.

Sounds Good!!!

Hopefully I will have the protoype by next week!!!

OK!!!! Here we go!!! I finally have something to show you guys, instead of a 3-D preview!

The size of the double-din frame is identical to the D's stock radio frame. If you check out the 2 bottom areas they are identical in curves/angles!! SLight problem is that the new frame has a tad trouble getting into place. Not that bad at all, just a small fix. It turns out that the stock frame has that problem as well. Once you get the bottom in, you have to sort of bend the top downwards to get it in, and it slightly curves the frame a tad. Since I am in the process of making these, I wanna correct this problem, which will be easy!!!! When I make something I make sure it works out perfect!!!

So tell me what you guys think now!!!!!

Looks beautiful!!!

It is beautiful. I have a feeling DMCH will be calling you soon to place an order.

Have you figured out where to mount the headlight/hazard switches?

Have a picture with the AC decal lit up? Also looks glossy/reflective in the photo. That would be a problem while driving in sunlight. Should be a matt finish. Otherwise looks great.

It is certainly beautiful, however the lack of a mounting location for the headlight and hazard switches is a bit troubling. Have you had any ideas for what to do with those?

[Nicholas R]

I think headlights and hazards are the reason why there are dummy switches next to the window switches.

The A/C decal, which really isn't a decal, is from the company that is going to make them. They sent that to me on a Black and clear sheet with all the measurements and information. I just cut it out to show how it will look like. As far lighting, the clear a/c panel lights up pretty good, just doesn't look right with the Black & clear a/c panel sample lighting up.

Thank you all for the compliments!!!

As far as the headlight and hazard switches I am still thinking of ideas where to put them. Maybe make small brackets for them mount them some where along the kneepads, or even make a custom shifter plate for them to be mounted, I am always thinking of different ways!
