I need some suggestions on how to make this install look more stock in the dash. I am currently trying to use bondo and modify the old bezel around it but i am having very little luck.

i had this problem once... too much screen, not enough dash... :)

what i did was use a program to flip the screen sideways in tablet mode, then mounted the monitor sideways to fit in the constraints, this way you can have you music video at the bottom of the screen and your playlist and eq at the top.... hope this helps

thats going to be tough to make it look stock. thats a pretty big screen for that console. might work better to make it flip down from an overhead console. or maybe relocate your vents and scoot the screen up a couple inches where the console is a little bit wider. dont know, just throwin ideas at ya.

Id leave it positioned where it is. could be a bad glare at some points during the day if its any higher

It is a 10.4 inch touch screen monitor for the computer I have installed the motherboard and hd are sitting behind the screen, so I really want to leave it where it is. If I go any higher the sun will affect it. A local shop quoted me 500 to fiberglass it in there i think that is way too much id rather try myself to glass it in.

In my opinion, that screen is waaaaaaaay too big for that dash. Overkill.

I'm sorry, I just dont understand the need for a computer built into your car... I could maybe see an adaptor built in so you could run it off your car, but I will never understand the need to put a computer and 50 LCD screens in the car. I'd personally just pull it out all together, get a high quality CD/MP3 player, drop some 15's in the back and go get the cops called on me. But thats just me Suggestions -- posted image.

Some of the reasons I wanted the computer in my car are for GPS, OBD-II diagnostics, mp3s, and playing dvds.
