Please note - This is a complete custom job - don't just hack away - I constantly measured and test-fitted the monitor until I got it to be just right - You'll have to cut the top and bottom just enough to fit the diameter of the bezel - Like that - the stocker could always go right back in if you ever wanted it to - As seen here:

(That damn vent duct in the back - if it wasn't for it, everything would've been mounted at the dash - Oh well)
Here's the monitor comfortably mounted:

and the same for the Stocker:
NOTE - At the bottom left and right corners of the dash opening, you want to leave a lil' bit of the plastic (about 1/4") in order for the stock radio to still be able to sit on it -
In the pic below - Imagine the big rectangle is the size of the Bezel - The circles indicate at the corners the small of amount of the dash left to fit the stock radio.



Quick test fit:


The finished product will look like this:





Now you'll have to fill out the gaps on the right and left side of the bezel - I cut and used some plexiglass pieces which I painted black and mounted on the inside of the dash (where the stock radio mount clip in)






Now - I skipped the parts of where I ran all the wires etc - Blah Blah - but after you figure all that out - Here's where I have the PC and Amplifier mounted:

The trunk bed is made of a wooden board with styrofoam covered by a carpeted mat - I used an old "COBY" small sized DVD player to mount the mobo/psu/hdd and painted it tan to match the color of my interior - Everything is bolted down and hidden in the compartment under the trunk floor bed and mat - There's nice room there to add other stuff if I wanted to...

I gotta' tidy up the wiring - That's a whole other project -


Anyway - Thanks for looking - Any questions? Feel free to ask - I have a couple more pics that I could post - Any comments? Feel free to post please!!
