For fitment, are you planning on having the screen sit outside of the vent holes? I was hoping to find a screen that would fit within the space of the two vents if the vertical strip between them was cut out. This would allow the screen to feel more intentional:
There should be space where the screen will not hit the curved dash lip above it. This would result in the screen not angled towards the driver, but testing with my phone says this would be fine.
Any reason you couldn't just block off the center vents completely? Would probably increase airflow to the other vents, but I rely more on my side + feet vents more for warmth than I do the center. |
I'm leaning more towards a screen floating far enough out to clear the dash lip (good point on making sure that clearance is there). That is easier imo than trying to do the extensive fiberglass fabbing that one guy did. Would probably still have to do some depending on if I do a single or double din. This also allows me to use a bigger (probably going to go wider) screen. I'm okay with sacrificing an oem look and covering my hazards for that. I want to keep the fabbing as simple as possible since I've never done it before.
