Default CUSTOM STEREO INSTALL QUESTIONS?

Hey, I was thinking about modifying my dash and installing an Alpine 7894 MP3 HU in it and a flat screen LCD monitor as well. I don't like the flip out ones, and want to custom fiberglass one into the dash like nassau blue's. I was wondering what is the largest size screen that can fit in the width there, 7"??? 7.2"??? My second question is when installing a aftermarket head unit what do I use for the black plastic trim around the head unit? I was thinking about using black plexiglass and spraying it mat black. And how do I attach that piece of plastic to the dash plastic trim and the head unit? Am I going to have to make new metal brackets for the head unit? If I bolt the plastic trim to the metal frame will the plexiglass be able to support the head unit???

Any pics and info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, i can always count on you guys.

Justin :confused:

I will be using a Kenwood 8" touchscreen. Will be about a month before any pics are up. The screen will be flushed into the center console along with the HU, much like NassuBlue's.
