Sup Guys,

First off, Thank's for your much appreciated comments... There of course was alot of time/ trial and error in putting this thing together. Furthermore, to answer some of your question's, the material is made of 2 layers of 1/8" of Plexiglass. I used a old existing part that I beleived came from my old Double decker Eclipse HU.

This brace was supplied by Eclipse in the in-dash 6-disc changer. Luckly, the brakets had middle mounting hole to center the unit in the dash... This installation process is known as the ISO mount... I tried to contact some old buddies at a local Car Audio shop for information on the ISO mounting brace... :-?

He still hasn't contacted me back on this item. :cry:

This bracket made everything possible besides the Plexiglass. Glass cutting was performed by a old friend of mine... After the glass was cut, the P-glass was painted a flat black color to give the essence of the non-painted surface that nice glossy shine... :wink:

All the packaging of the unit to make fit (filing glueing bending and drilling to keep the unit from shifting around) and have the swing face operate was designed and fignagled by your truely... It was all a team effort. The glass was templated (to make the openning) but for somehow it was lost in the process. I'll have to find it somehow. :-?
