Hey I have a 00 Civic Si and I recently purchased a flat screen (touch screen) and I got an awesome deal on an 8.4 inch one. I realize it wouldnt fit in my car but the price was right. Now I have decided that I am going to put it in my cup holder console type thing (behind the stick shift) but its just slightly to small. I went to an audio shop by me (Time and Sound) and they said they could coustom make me one, but I know that just mean they are going to bend me over and rape me for cash and make me a console in the process. Does anyone have any idea of places that can like heat up my console and expand it or a place I can get a coustom one or someone that is really cool on this forums that would like to help me out with this ;) Please Let me know

Are you winking at me? I dont get down like that :devil:
But hmmm... why dont you try heating it up yourself? Go rent a heat gun and goto town. Just dont turn it on full blast or you could melt it (those guns can get REALLY hot) but a steady warm air should be enough to heat it up enough to stick that sucker in.
And you are right, when the word "custom" comes into play... so does the $$$$$

Dude, don't melt it. You'll screw it up so bad. Minimal fiberglass work is what you need here bro. Goto Walmart and get a fiberglass cloth repair kit, some resin and some bondo all for like $15. Experiment and make your own cool looking one.
