I still want it to look like there's a screen installed. I played around a little with the idea of molding it in, but I bought a warranty for the screen (since they are prone to have issues) and I'd rather keep it unmodified so I can pull it out in the event of a failure.

I could probably caulk it with some satin black or grey silicon to clean up the edges a bit, how do you think that would look?

Tried it, it looked aweful.

I dont have the si though, I have an ex, so the dash was black not silver. So it looked more uniform. I think it just looks a bit out of place.

Something you may have better luck with is a Metra double-din kit. Then shave away the top, bottom, and left side until it is a tight squeeze fit, and the right side will cover that hole weird shape up. I tried but I accidentally broke mine so then I tried it and some Plast-dip to try and make it look better, and long story short, it was the worst looking thing ever because the filler I used was shiny rubber...

But I think if you have more patience than I did, and took your time, it would look really good for little work.
