Deck Relocation *finished* with pics
Guys I have searched and searched. The thread I found written by Jay lacks lots of information plus the pictures dont show up anymore.
Im doing the relocation to the cig lighter because my new deck (Pioneer DEH-P960MP) Angles too much to see it in the stock location. Now i have the plastic cut and the cage fit and everything is set to where it needs to be. I just need to know how to start fiberglassing it.
If anyone has any good tips or DIY or PICTURES!! of this process that would be awesome. I want to get this finished and painted then move my deck!!!!
I need help guys!! I know many of people have done this.

On the links for pics that do not work.
Change in the url where it says "7thgencivic" to "civicforums" that should help.
It may not fix them all, but it has worked for several.

Re: Deck Relocation *Searched*
the peice is painted and finished. I have to mock everything up and see if theirs any areas I need to fill/fix. For being my first piece it looks pretty good. Their are some areas i can see now that I need to work on. So im going to go install everything just to see what all shows and what doesnt.

Re: Deck Relocation *Searched*
alright guys. Ill post pics as soon as my paint dries. Probably in about 15-20 minutes.
Its not the best but I have a new idea and I think im going to order a new piece and redo it. I have the experience now lol.
It needs a little filling here and there but all in all for my first fiberglass project, Its not too bad. Thanks Alpha for all the help and to everyone else.
Clint I have some paint questions for you bud.
