I've been redesigning my carputer screen placement and finally decided to put it in the double din slot and get a S5 surround because it's not all cracked and broken and has the divider between the vents and logicon.

Phase one is complete:



The screen's plastic has been painted to match the surround and is mounted with metal tabs on the backside and a little bit of hot glue for emergencies. It's in a much nicer place that reduces glare a ton and can't be stolen by simple lifting it off the mounting spindle like it was before.

Now I'm moving onto mounting the head unit. I already moved all the wiring up to the proper location, removed the ducting, then capped it off. Now I need to come up with a mounting solution.

I've been thinking of building a wood frame that's fastened into the dash on the sides, then cutting a plastic cover plate to cover the gaps on the side and top once the HU is mounted.

Has anyone done something similiar with good results?

I wouldn't trust the weight of the HU to be supported by the structure, and $169 is more dough I could be spending on suspension. The screen fits so snugly into the S5 panel as well, I only had to shave off 1/8" total on the sides.
