iPad Mini Dash Build

Hello everyone.

Doing an iPad dash for a friend on here, his screen name is @03F150MrSBF ;

I'm doing this, kinda cheating:cool:, using a kit from a company coming up called Fifield Fabrications.

Here's the link

Fifield Fab Custom Car Audio - Home

He will be coming out with more products soon as well. So keep referring back and you will see new products posted soon.

Goals of this dash were to blend it as close as possible and keep it low profile and flush with the dash. Onto the pics:naughty:

Port for connector

Dash and the kit cut down



 
Started looking at this and realized I could cut out that center bar, the ipad kit will separate the AC controls.

Saved these clippings so when I went to melt the plastic on the dash kit to the dash, "weld" I would have some plastic weld fuelé

Looking nice.... My buddy is doing one for his Tahoe. His first build kinda went to crap.. went to junkyard and bought a couple extra dash trims.

Been talking to the owner. Be patient. He's got a lot of stuff coming out in the next few weeks/months, give him some time he will make you a happy man.
