If I had the time and the patience I would attempt the same, but seeing as how I don't, I'm going to have to settle for a motorized flip screen covering my center vent instead. Good work.

You don't have to settle for a flip screen. Contact Dennis at Double D Mods (forum vendor) and let him set you up with a double din bezel configured any way you want. I've got one on the way.

I'd really like to check these pics out but I can't see any of your pics TXZ0603. I see a photo bucket pic telling me the bandwidth is exceeded. I can see Patches' pics. anyone else?

Same here. Bandwidth exceeded. Did my own DD bezel as well. Good thing to know is if you screw up you can sand it down and re-mold it. Really pleased how mine came out. Modded it just the way I wanted it to be.
