Default any custom audio/fiberglass guys around?

My center console is totally f'd up. I had a local audio guy move my heater controls down to the center console and put my escalade cd changer in the dash where the heater controls used to be. he did a nice job on the cd changer but the console looks like ***. i have a brand new console sitting here but i need someone to make my heater controls fit..........and look good. I was thinking fiberglass is the way to go. there's a pic of the carnage in my webshots link below.

i'm open to suggestions. i was hoping one of you would know a guy who knows a guy, lol.

start calling stereo places.. I agree that a custom fiberglass job may be the wonly way to get that to look right, one of the local or maybe not so local places aorund you must know someone that can do that sort of thing.

well that looks like a big bag of ***...cant you try mounting the controls on the outside of the material so its flush. its almost just looks like its mounted too far inside. The cutout could be smaller but i think it would do. worth a shot before you go spending money for a custom fiberglass job, if you do though, throw some white faced gauges and **** in there was well to fill it out a little more and paint it to match the body. not from your area so i cant really recommend anyone

Damn man you cant catch a break! I hope you didnt have to pay for that first console as the guy did a total hack job IMO. Good luck with the truck though and post up some pics and vids when its done!

i just realized that my brother does fiberglass/gelcoat repair on boats. He lives 10min from me. I'm gonna see if he can do it. I can't see why not. he owes me money too so i wont be paying him.

i should just have him build me a new console out of mdf.
