If I owned a BMW I would most definately buy one from you, but I don't... Damn Corvette, I hate it already....

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it made from?

I.e from nothing to this is amazing, so what is the base material.

Pictures :-)

Plastic, Plastic adhesives, Plastic fillers, finishing putty, enamel primer, and enamel paint. I don't have any pics of the process.

That is a great work!
One request. Can you post a pic of back side?
You said you used Xenarc case and I would like to see how
you did that.

I'm totally new to fabricating. Can anyone point me to a guide, or give me some good tips? I'm totally, handy, just need someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks! BTW, all the people's work I've seen on these forums has been awesome.

Here ya go...

Thanks.
I am thinking about using Xenarc case as the base, too.
Your custom trim is very helpful.
Tho I don't think I can make one clean like yours.

I'm available for hire. :)
What year/model car is it for?

What I got is Subaru Outback Sports 1997.

That is great to know that you could do that.
But you know, I would like to try this first.
So I can say I did it. However, good to have plan B.

I do have one question.
You use Xenarc front case for your trim and sell them, right?
Where do you get your Xenarc case? Do you buy that from
someone?

Just use the front bezel from the LCD you're gonna use.
