First of all I'd like to say thank you to all of you with those great installs that have inspired me to do something like this. Something that I would never dare to start doing myself.

Here's the back of the stock GXE wents. I made a little frame from a cardboard, soaked it in fiberglass thing and let it dry.

On the front side, I'm using the bondo body filler to make it look nice. Hopefully we (my friend is being a great help in all this) have enough skills to make it look nice. Any advice on sanding this thing?

This is the idea:

Any advices on this setup? What do you peoplez think? Thanks!

it looks like the screen is too far too the left, and to sand it...a good idea would be a sander, just because it would give you a flat surface...but you can also use 3m palm non-powered sander, and i think 300 paper...but check on that

the reason screen looks too far to the left is that the left part was already sanded a little and right part is all mess. and yea, a sander would be great...

yunusyu, you're from WH? Me too

Where are the pics? I'd love to see your status on this project. I have a 2000 Max and am trying to figure out if I should mount a screen in the dash or mount on the side with an arm.

I actually went a slightly different way now. Will take pics soon.

I have a 2001 Max and from the pcitures you posted I can't tell what you did. Do you have any better pictures?

Go Maxaima's...

any update on this yet.... Income tax is reallllly close so i woud have the lump funds to do this project too.

As I mentioned before I went a different way with this.... and forgot to take pics. But I'll take pics of the ready product. However, I'm really thinking about going the motorized in-dash screen

oh yea, yunusyu, the fact that I live in WH does not make me like the same gender (read: gay). So don't worry, if I see you around I won't hit on you.

I'm in the process of doing something similar in a 2001 Maxima SE... its close to done... using bondo instead of fiberglass tho.
