I think the radio bezel looks kewl. As far as the dash goes, dont use any polished pieces there cause your going to be blinded by the glare man.

I don't think the silver/aluminum look is going to work in this case.

Personally, I would go with a plain black filler insert. It's gotten to be commonly accepted with aftermarket systems anyway.

It may be hard to find an exact matching wood grain contact paper. But would definitely fit in with your dash better than the aluminum look.

Another idea is to make the filler piece black, and use some pin striping tape in a color of your choice. The tape already has the crisp straight edge you're looking for.
I have to agree. Nothing is more important than doing things your own way, the way YOU want them.

I like the black filler piece with pin stripe.

holy hell, i guess it is a lil warped, huh justin! ya still have the scorts carcass there? ya ought to see if mabe ya can canabalize the top of the dashpad outta that ? its gonna be a differant shape, but your creative enough where ya could probibly get it to work... if not, at least the junkyards are packed with contours & mystakes. i think i would just go that route if its possible, just get another dashpad.

paint it black and it won't be nearly as noticeable.

as far as the dash goes, i'd cut off the warped parts and get/make a carpeted dash pad.
