How hard was it to pull that bezel off. I need to do the same thing but will be doing it in flat black to match the dash...

Not bad at all .. see the 2 set screws at the bottom of each end, remove these completely. Peel the tape off without touching the adhesive side and simply slide the computer portion out of the frame.

I lightly sanded the frame with the scouring pad for adhesion

The fit is VERY tight so mask off everything except the top 'exposed' portion of the frame.

OH !! just saw that build was you ... truly over the top my friend, looks like we are trading some ideas. Ya, the controller sticks out like a sore thumb.
Cant wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the interior

Cheers
Steve

And thanks for the compliments. Interior is fairly simple as I wanted it to appear primarily stock. It will have aftermarket seats, stock rear seat, standard door panels and the DSE dash center. I'm looking at console ideas as I like a console in the car but have nothing for it currently and not huge on the stocker.

Any tips on how you made that one? Looks awesome. I'd probably replace the radio in mine for the holley touch screen display.

Why does this console not surprise me? Very nice!

LMAO ... thanks guys ! It's so funny, if you guys could see my 1st attempt at a console 3 years ago I'd be embarrassed.

Will, they have some really nice options out this year ...

What I like about the PMX-2 is it's a full unit, not a remote controller like my last one, so all you have to do is mount some amps in the trunk and your good to go

Will, here is a link to some more pics of the console build, if you want I can provide the detailed measurements for everyone. I test fit the new console last week and its absolutely perfect with the ACC padded carpet.
let me know ...

Will, my last year's console ... a little more 'conservative', this along the lines of what you had in mind ? Very simple layout

Going into a full custom 69' camaro/70 Nova dash ... meaning its similar to a DSE dash without the hump so I can fit this in ...
