Default Double D Mods make a Single Din console

We have a few vendors making upper consoles to fit double din head units. Anyone have one made for a single din? Pictures? Opinions? I hate the way the dash adapter looks when you downsize.

I have made double din bezels with ash tray, no ash tray, with pockets, with gauge pods, with a center channel speaker and a recent 8 inch touch screen monitor for a car pc.

I am sure this can be done for you

I will send you a PM

Thanks for the interest and thinking of me

Dennis

Just curious, but if you did a single din, how many 2 1/16 gauges could you fit in the center console?

That's a lot of gauges. I was just thinking the standard 3 (WB, FP, and Boost/Vac). Of course, if there's that much room, then you could be talking integration for an Alky Control kit and a couple of various switches too........Now ya got me thinking.

Then again......having a DVD/Nav system would be oh so nice.
