Default First Attempt at bezel

I used alot of different info for my build and came up with this. Be gentle, I know its not perfect but now that I know that I can do the basics of it, it will get better. The bottom does not fit correctly but I have two more bezels at home and know that have a foundation to start with as well as measurements the second should be better. The screen is a 7" screen that i modified to fit the opening. Everythin else I mostly stole from Infinitereality's setup (thanks). Give me your opinion on it, but remember I will make it more polished looking. This is the only picture I have right know. I took some night shots of the screen. The camera I had to use is crap but you kind of get the picture. I also added some other mods I have done like the third break light, push button start, and shift boot. I also added a compass temperature mirror but I dont have a picture of that. I just figured out how to add pictures so everthing but the radio bezel I have had for awhile.

I did not mention that i am using a cd/dvd/mp3 player along with the screen. It will play movies, cd's, and as mentioned mp3. I am able to load pictures onto a cd-r and display them on the screen the same time my music is playing. There is also a 12 disc changer in the back with a powered sub. For the small amount of money i have spent on it i am happy with it.

Thought about it, but I am not real proficient with computers. If I had problems with it i wouldn't be able to troubleshoot it myself. I will probably upgrade some of the components I have now but stick with the same approach. I was going to use leather too, but tried something a little different just to be a little different. i can pretty much pick what design i want and wrap it. I am going to make about two more with different patterns just change out when i want to.

I like most of the work, but why do you have so much extra material on the shift boot?

The car is actually an automatic that I made to look like a Manual. This was a trial fit I will have to cut it back some to make it look perfect. The interior came stock like that. Alot of people think I did it aftermarket but it was stock. I love it. Thanks for the comments.

What you mean is you bought the car that way - not that it is stock. The previous owner must have customized the interior because Pontiac never made an interior like that.

Made another bezel tell me what you think. I know it is kind of hard to see but would like to know which you like better.
