A friend of mine and I are working on his celica and we are wondering if anyone knows how to mod, or create a custom center console. We are trying to fit a 7 inch lcd screen into, cause we are working on a car computer. We want to make it look like it came standard. I was told by someone to use like styrofoam to make the mold of the console, then use bondo to make the actual mold from the styrofoam. does that sound right?
Any help would be great. kRiLLiN |

Thats a pretty nice setup, but i guess you prolly should have used some harder materials together with the fiber glass or what ever you used. Like a small wooden piece under the switches to get it nice and flat. I guess it all depends on what you were going for though
