Probably have two more coats of plastic to go, and then final sanding. Have some SEM texturizer coming, I'm by no means a pro at fiberglassing and bondo, but I think it's coming along nicely...

as you know its a lot of work to make these.
We make about 30 a week for the C5 alone

Good to see you trying and looking good so far

Same package with the KEnwood 372 your bezel modified, harness antenna adapter and mounting brackets is 439.99 to give you an idea on our cost

Yea I looked into you guys. You do awesome work for sure! I have a second bezel that's cracked a bit, do you repair other cracks in the plastic if I were to send that to you down the road?

Some of the cracks are pointless to fix. They will just break again. Most common is between the shifter and traction control. Most people push here to get out of the car. There is nothing below this portion of the bezel for any support so it will crack again

Hope it won't as long as it's not pushed on again, I fiber glassed it and the put a lot of jb weld on the bottom side, may see if I can figure out a spanning support for it. My other bezel isn't craxked there, just along the top most section above the radio

Still not done with sanding the ashtray and radio hole, but my SEM paint came in and I wanted to test its ability to cover small inprefedtions and sanding marks, this product is awesome!





Close up of the finish
