    Not boring at all man! Good stuff!

    I'm about to do something crazy with a Helix Director install in a cheap Civic console so.. plastic fab is a fun read.

    Thanks guys. Just to refresh the slider kit was molded into the dash kit by Rafa. I'm just working on getting the Sony to look right mounted behind it. I don't want anyone to think I'm taking credit for work I didn't do.

    I removed the tape and I am pretty happy with how the flocking looks. However, I've decided that I'm not completely done with the dash kit after all. After the flocking has a week to dry I plan to tape it up then paint the dash kit with some SEM paint to give it some texture.


    Here is how it looks now.

    Back to work this morning, I installed the Sony. Other than needing to repaint the dash kit I'm extremely happy with how it came out.


    No more gap around the head unit. It's amazing how much time and energy I put into this considering how few people will ever see it.






    Installed in the car.

    Wow, that turned out awesome. Did you use a flocking applicator, or did you just sprinkle it on there?

    Thank you. I used the tube applicator that came with the kit.

    I also worked on the sunglasses holder which now holds the CD Changer controller. This spot formerly held the Helix Director and to be honest it didn't look that great. Hopefully I've learned a few things since my last install.

    This is what I started with. I did start a little sanding prior to taking the photo but you can see all of the bad spots.


    Next I added a piece of abs to fill in the hole. I also ground down the bad spots.


    After using CA glue to hold the new abs piece where it needed to go I cut out a hole for the controller then added some bondo.


    I did a bunch of sanding and then test fit the trim piece.


    Next step, paint with SEM black trip paint. Color in the photo is not accurate.


    I allowed the SEM paint to dry for three hours then lightly taped it. After that I added glue then flocked it.


    After allowing it to dry most of the day yesterday and overnight I installed the controller and mounted it to the console.



    Closed up it looks factory to anyone that doesn't know that it was originally beige. I actually like it better black.


    I know this isn't pretty but it had to be done. I had to allow room for the controller cable and to allow room for the knob and buttons. It will never be seen.
