Hey everyone i just installed a 7 inch dvd player in my car and was wondering if anybody knows where i can get a custom stereo surround panel made up??im pretty much at my wits end trying to find a place that will do this for me, i was going to go into the group buy for the cf one in the UK but that fell through from what i have been reading? any help would be appreciated!

There was a guy on the UK site www.ftooc.org who put an LCD screen in the Double Din Slot of his FTO ... He just fibreglassed it into place from the rear of the stereo surround - Fibreglassing wouldn't be the ideal solution, because he had to sell the whole surround when he sold the screen ...

Besides, I'm not sure what size screen fits the double DIN size.. I would think 7" would be a bit smaller? Anywhere that works with fibreglass should be abel to customise your existing stereo surround to fit the screen in it & make it look like thats how they come of the production line.. check the yellow pages for "fibreglass fabricators" or "composite fabricators"

Wasn't someone going to make up a f/g one for us as a group buy thing ... Can't remember who it was ... All as I can remember is that he was doing a f/g glove box too ...
