Default Single DIN Firebird bezel install.

Well, I figured I didnt want to change my old *** Ecliplse HU for a new one so I decided to get rid of my old set up and whip up something simple but that it looks good. So here it is....I did it all with things I found around in my tool box. Heck, I made the letters with a razorblade and a sticker that I transfered to the plexi and then removed them after painting. And yes the HU looks crooked but thats because the fold down face is missing the screw that secures it.

Just my 2 cents.. its not bad, not great. I really like the idea but the a in trans looks messed up. I bet if you gave it another shot you can make it look really sick. On my old car i had to do a few things more than once to get it right........well hell still do.

Well, I appreciate your input and I agree with you also. I wanted to do this as cheap as possible and thats why I cut the letters out myself which is why they aren't perfect. I should've put the little dot in that A but I idnt think about it at the time. My original intent was to have a sign shop cut the wording out in a vinyl sticker and then it would've been perfect. But Im a cheapskate so this will do for now. I have more plexi to do it over but I was trying to finish it before I go on vacation on tuesday. Hey, at least it looks great at night! hahaha

I don't think it looks too bad. The "6 speed" decal however needs some attention.
