The issue with that is it only gives you a mold of one side, I still have to account for all the mounting posts on the backside and the posts to mount both the air vents, that is where the High dollar cost comes in.

To do a injection mold of for just the front is only about $3,000 to $4,000

Is the higher part of the setup cost on that making the mold or doing the initial impression? I'm wondering if this might not be able to be vacuum-formed, but it's a complex shape in a lot of ways and the original materials may not like that process.

Yea, I didn't think about that. Would it be possible to make the fiberglass casting mount to the necessary pieces from a stock panel. An injection mold is the way to go, but at that price there has to be a cheaper medium.
 
BAAAAAAMMM!!!!!!

Pioneer, AVIC-X920BT. Just waiting for the IPOD cable before I install it.

BTW. My alpine deck/ ipod connect/ metra adapter will be for sale after the pioneer deck get's installed
 
Urban you need to hurry up and get some install pics! I'm trying to decide if I want to make the bezel level with the trim or protruding out a little like P1atinum's original.

IIRC, my retro used a Metra adapter made for a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix.

What paint was used on yan's bezel?
Click to expand...

Urbans color was color matched paint Mopar Agate from "Spectra Match" , I think it a little light compaired to the Agate of my dash. My dash is closer to between the Agate and the Satan Black I used on mine console... It's funny the dash is actually two differnt colors. the color matched paint matches the back of the Bezel perfet but is slightly off from the trim around the gauges.

Both consoles look great installed though.
