if you have a go yourself you'll really enjoy it. build it up using wood similar dimensions to that of little wood (1/2cm2) and use that as a template to house the screen. revs are doin a jag with nice rear end ICE follow that its a similar process

Cut the vents at the top out and make a MDF frame that fits your screen then fix to the centre console and then fibreglass it in but i didnt have to on mine all mine was was a little bit of filler, then just move the MFD and cut the bottom across piece out of that and you have a screen in the console!
really is that easy, did mine in a couple of hours

Look at it before but it looks a bit fiddly to get apart and they are quite handy as its the only safe place to put a drink with all the alcantara ive got in there!
