How am I going to mount this DSCustoms screen flush in my dash? (Pictures)

I just got my DSCustoms 7" VGA Touchscreen in today. I took it out of the housing and I want to mount it flush in the dash, but I don't really know how. Does anyone have any ideas?

fiberglass

you can use a piece of acrylic/plexiglass/lexan, or wood, or if you are skilled enough fiberglass

i would say to use a piece of plexi. you can cut it to shape and then paint it black. it is not as "permanent" as fiberglass. and i think it would look better than wood.

MDF painted with Vinal dye then lightly glossed. Cheap and effective.

How would I attach MDF to the double-DIN bezel? How would I mount the LCD in the MDF?

Glue or screws for the MDF bezel

Acrylic board is super nice because it comes smooth or textured and you can get it in almost any color. Match what you want without any painting. Also it is super easy to work with. Good luck.
