cool ... i couldnt decide.... i moved the AC vents down to the bottom for a while.... but thought the screen up by the ac vents may get to much sunlight ... so i decide to go with the 03-04 bezel.... cant wait to see how yours turns out...

waiting on some epoxy putty and POR Patch ... to mold the xenarc bezel to the 03' bezel. POR resists holding moisture and shouldnt expand/contract because of temp..etc. gonny be fun to sand probably .. but we will see...

Not to hijack this thread, but the only part of the install that troubles me is fabricating the bezel to the screen casing... I too prefer to only do things once, is this por stuff the way to go?
