custom boost monitor holder

im in the middle of making up a holder for the apexi avcr screen. i was fed up with it just stuck to the dash and wanted to make it a little more like it was allways there. i started of by removing the centre airvent and cut the hole middle out of it. then the fun began. lots of fibreglass/filler was piled on and the sanding began. i still have a bit to do to get it ready for paint but its getting there. i need to still add some filler to the bottom of the holder. then some final sanding and a few coats of mat black, i also made the centre speaker guage holder. that needs a few coats of matt to. any way heres afew pics. let me know what you think. should have it finished tomaro. its a proper pain in the **** but should be worth it.

It looks pretty nice props for ingenuity. Im not real wild about the angle it sits at but I guess that comes with the territory. Are you going to block off the ari ducting to that spot? I can't imagine having your heater blowing on the back of the unit would be good for it.

i wanted it to sit level but it just didnt look right. i had to build up the left hand side far to hing. the air duct is allready blocked off,(lots of duct tape and some aliminium) so thats not gona be a problem.
