Howdy folks - long time visitor to the site here, and I figured I'd start a worklog thread for my '07 Grand Cherokee car PC project.

Hopefully this will also help motivate me to finish the install, seeing as how I haven't made much progress since I molded the LCD into the dash bezel back in November, so that is what this post will be devoted to.

Question: does anyone know what the difference is between the '06 and '07 navigation bezel, aside from the '07 being twice as expensive? I compared these side-by-side: the attachment clips are all located in the same spots, and opening dimensions are the same - the only difference I detected was that the color shades appeared slightly different. Is that worth the ~$80 difference? Not to me, so I picked up an '06 navigation bezel to mold the 7" Xenarc housing into.

Anyway, here are some photos from the dash fab. I used turbocad6's Dynatron bumper repair epoxy technique to mold the pieces together, and painted it using Krylon primer, Dupli-Color trim paint, and Krylon semi-flat black paint.

Many thanks to dk888 for his assistance and guidance.
