I am trying to install a 7" monitor into the factory head unit location of my 2002 Chevy Cavalier. What steps should I follow to build a new location for an aftermarket cd/dvd unit underneath the air controls. Or should I move the air controls down and use that spot to put the new head unit into? Any feedback is requested.

I am just trying to figure out how hard it would be to form a location for the air controls or the cd/dvd receiver. How would I form the fiberglass to fit the receiver into?

1 plus 1 equals 2

when working with fiberglass you need to start off with a frame... most of the time the frame is wood or plastic. For your application you may want to start with wood or abs plastic and cut a ring the size of the a/c controls or radio size... once you build the frame then you use a stretchy fabric (fleece, speaker grill cloth) to form your curves around your frame.

For clarification look on my site at the tutorial pages ... the xterra started with a speaker ring and a frame for an amp rack...then used trunk liner to stretch and get the curves.
