Dd mods inspired

I bought one of Dennis first Double Din bezels many yrs ago with the ashtray left in it he did a great job. I have gotten so many compliments on fit and finish my car is silver and black interior bezel was done in black and my center console I but in a road down the middle and that was it. Well now Dennis does leather and more custom stuff to these peices so I post and he shows me some pictures. It lights a fire on me to try and do something so I call him tell him what I will try and do and asked him if he had any ready to go incase I f-up. well here it is lmk what you think.

It came out great! But it looks like your TCS surround doesn't fit great, you can see the cuts in it. Nice work

I think his TC panel just needs to be pushed down all the way - looks like the front end is not snapped in.

What you've done is different and looks pretty good.

Actually the TC is in perfect I made a small mistake on the tape job those are slits in the tape that didn't get covered when I sprayed the Black over coat. It goes all around the area oop's

Get yourself a length of welting long enough to fill the gap and place it there - not only willit conceal all those cuts, it'll make the console look more finished.

Nice job on the project.

I fixed the imperfections will post more pictures soon man I like how it turned out. Now I am tempted to do more on the interior peices to make it flow even more. Gunna try my skills
