That is one part I still need , cannot afford it right now though

for as much work that was put into that one, you could modify the cheapest radio one you can find and end up with the same result

 :iagree:  take a cheap standard plate, make a filler for the hole, use plastic weld/epoxy to fix it in place, sand flat, wrinkle paint the exterior ... VOILA! instant radio delete plate.

A couple more hours of effort and Sylvain could have finished the backside too  :alan2cents:

so, that one is not a real one any way. 
I paid somewhere around that for a real one a little while back. 

Or was it real, cut out, then fixed?

I need to do something similar for my car. I just received a new radio surround bezel from Tony's.  I need to fill in the large hole since I won't have a radio there.  I know there are a few different types of plastic used in different parts of the car. Does anyone know what type of plastic these hard "bezel" or dash moldings are made of?  I want to make sure that what ever I use is of a similar type so that everything bonds properly and is permanent.    :thinking:  Or am I overthinking this a bit to much?  :thinking:
