I wasn’t completely happy with a previous DIY. The look, eventhough the colors matched my trim… looked like the screen was just thrown into a hole. I revised my previous faceplate and molded the touchscreen faceplate in the CF one I made.
If I could find a way to change the silver buttons to black and still have them backlit I would, but as for now, the silver buttons stay silver.
so here’s the latest. I’ll show the steps of the process for those who wish to attempt similar projects. otherwise, i’m not going to get into much detail
What my center console was like on the dealer lot:
for the final seam i used a glazing putty and spot putty. To hold the pieces together at the seam I made my own mixture of putty/epoxy/graphite strands/kevlar strands. This same mixture worked pretty good on my robots…so i’m sure it’ll work well now.
