James,

You screen looks perfect, you must have spent a lot of time on that,

I'm hoping mine will ONE day look like that.

lol, a lot of trial and error - that's a mix of plastic, body filler and MDF , I expect your bezel would be reasonably easy in comparison - looks like you have a good bit of height there, do you estimate being able to fit the whole screen in ? ( even if from behind )? makes the job far easier, with mine I had to completely rehouse the whole thing which needed new supports and shielding, but if you could work around the current case then I'm sure I could do a good job...

Also been playing with a new meltable plastic that can be shaped to any form and then hardens when it cools to be as strong as any nylon, needs a bit more testing to make sure it doesn't revert to a mouldable state in heavy sunlight once painted black ! but maybe an option
James

lol, trial and error, all i did was the errors Jamez, i had to stop and give up in the end, thats why i have decided to get some one else to do it for me, i know its lazy but i've spent all this time and money in getting the pc up and running i dont want a ugly lookin screen mount.

However, i'm still trying to find someone ?

Roger

depending upon the pics and how hard it looks i might try it again after you post your details.

cheers mate

I've got all the bits and pieces and am now ready to start my project. I've going to take lots of pics and post as i go along.

Being a bit nervous about destroying the trim of my new beamer I searched on ebay for a center trim to modify. So now armed with this i can now experiment without ever taking a knife to my precious car. Check out here

So if any guys have put a screen in this position and can advise me that would be cool
