Fabricating dash pieces to cover holes
Happy New Year everyone. Hoping to get tips on my current situation..
I have installed a double din system that currently looks like this.
The obvious problem is that there are two "holes" after the install. I have done research on double din kits such as metra and scosche but nobody makes them for my car (Lexus IS250).
So the only solution now is to fabricate two pieces that will fill in those holes. Something similar to the bottom picture is what I want to achieve.
However, I'm not sure how to go about doing that as I am limited in the tools that I have. Any suggestions as to how I can tackle this problem?

Quick and dirty way would be to mask everything off really really good and pack some Everglass in there, sculpt the basic shape, smooth it out and paint it.
It's not going to be easy unless you've got some panel building experience, but it's sure possible.
