A little something I did to my stereo surround PICS

Laid fiberglass over the vents, removed the logicon and replaced it with a plate of ABS plastic, then laid fiberglas over that as well. Let the resin dry, lay your body filler over everything, sand sand sand sand sand till smooth. Remember to use a sanding block or else it will look wavy like this.




Then I used a sanding block, and it all came out even and smooth. Right now it is in its primered state just a little more sanding and body filler for the tiny craters and finally put on the black coat.

Not running AC , and wanted a little more of a race look, I might eventually add a guage, kill switch, and I will be adding 3 leds that work off of the idiot lights.

I completely took it out, this won't be my daily, and for racing, the car should definitely not heat up with the radiator and fan im running.
