Glad to see everyone is making progress.

Seb, what is that avatar??

Made some progress myself. I got power for the touch screen from the cig lighter. I basically spliced into the power from that harness. Works well. I picked up a port replicator for the laptop with a mechanical on/off switch so now I can have a remote power button. Couple pictures:

I also picked up this USB GPS Receiver. Pretty cool, works great. It is the one found on mp3car.com.

Now I just have to relocate the trip computer/clock.

Wow, well done.

I think I might miss the cup holder though. I have a long drive to work, and need a coffee holder

I haven't checked in a while but looks like everyone is making good progress.

F1anatic looks great!

Sebbery, that thing is awesome! I haven't had time to read everything in the thread. Can you cliff note me on the specs of that?

I went ahead and sprayed my bezel with flat black primer and decided to not let the paint hold me up on the rest of the progress as I can always take apart and paint later. The flat black primer doesn't look all that bad anyway. I still have to figure out power for everything but temporarily used the the aux 12v for the monitor and ran the laptop on the battery. Really cool man. Using the LSXVoid skin for RR. If you haven't checked it out http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=93192 . I like it.

I still need to relocate the trip computer but I'm getting there. I pumped to see a touch of what it is going to be after building that bezel for so long.

I actually got my paint to match pretty much 100%. Ill take pics today. I also made some little innovations that some might find useful/to their liking.

What did you use?? I have been trying to find something that matches for some time now but haven't found anything. I bought some flat black and have been really close to just using that. Did you paint yours f1anatic?

I really haven't made any progress. We just had a baby girl last week so needless to say I've been pretty busy. I don't think I would have done much anyway with this cold weather. The propane heater I have doesn't stand a chance heating up the garage when it is single digits.

Wow, thanks for the compliments everyone.

I agree that finding a color will make or break this. I think I've been to every store that sells paint in a can and I haven't found anything that I think will work. There is a website that you can submit a color code to and they will mix the paint. I'll have to find it. Is there a color code for our interior?

f1anatic - Agree, still trying to find the right skin. There seems to be only a few decent ones. Found this http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=93192 which has some cool features or maybe this if I can make a subaru logo http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=70502.

You also have a good point about removing that thing once it is mounted. The plastic epoxy has a lot of flex but the bondo doesn't.

Some more progress. I just need to find a good color and something to make texture. This is what it looks like primed anyway.

Bezel Primed

Mounted LCD

All put together (The flash blows..)

RoadRunner (Again the flash blows..)

Thanks sebberry, I'll try the bumper spray and duplicolor.

Intially I didn't want the buttons but knew that I would need them for the same reason. I don't think it looks as nice or OEM with them there but will be easier for me in the long run.

Settled, I'm trying it. I'll start looking for a can of something that kind of matches. Thanks.

Do you have a picture that you could post of yours?

Nevermind, found your post with pics. Looks good.

Has anyone used that texture base in a can? That would hide alot and probably be a good idea for me.

I'm pretty sure sebbery used a color out of a can that he said matched well.

Man this is tough for a newb. Always a flaw to sand out or fill in. I'm pretty sure I need some real fine grit sand paper now to help get that real smooth finish.

Sebberry, what paint did you use? I saw it in a post somewhere but can't find it now.

Progress:

Epoxy

Sanding Bondo

Primer with screen and buttons inserted.
