Which ever can come sooner

Honestly... if your thinking for security, bolt might be a tad better, but where in the bezel area is it going to be structurally strong enough? If a thief wants it, they are gonna get it or break it. Not tug and see if its easy to get out and if so, walk away.

If a snap makes it produced faster, go snap!

Oh yea, did I mention I was anxious?

thats one of the problems, where the bolts would go would be where the cup holder is so if you have that i bet the cup holder would not work anymore and its just thin plastic and you "may" have to drill 2 holes in the cage... That will defeat the idea of no mods to car.

With the snap in you will have tabs that you have to push down to get it of like a computers from face and those are pretty secure...

im hoping to have a working prototype thats made from the molds this week, one i get that one done i can make them quicky.

Update:

I went to a SFX house today and they helped me get the right stuff this time.

I got liquid plastic that is 2-3 times stronger then the original bezel thats made from fiberglass and acrylic, and it will withstand up to 300F so its not going to melt or anything.

I can dye the liquid plastic black so i will see if i can match the color of the dash so then there is no painting involved.

Props for all the effort your going through.

Can anyone tell the difference if a Xenarc would be used. Guess what I am asking is, are they really "that" much different?

I have not bought one either way, just hear better things about the Xenarc, but hell, I am ready for either!
