Wow that looks really great. I think I might get into some interior modding when the weather starts to brighten up more often. I'm diggin the shiny piano look, but I'm sure its a fingerprint magnet! | |

Asked cause I'm just taking a guess at it, but I would say that you filled the gaps between the headunit side "filler" pieces and center trim piece with the CA glue, sanded it down, and bondo/smoothed it out.
Dig it man... it looks good! | |

yes, that is exactly what i did....but i flushed the aftermarket radio trim piece as close to the surface as possible and then added bondo to get the contour of the oem trim piece....then i sanded and primered and painted then cleared X3
shawnofthedead, hit me up when you wanna come by and take a look and see what we could do to spice things up on the interior!
