....so the disappointment continues. After making my own brackets to secure the deck to the framing (lack of a better word) inside the dash, Rich's bezel installed - zero angle change as i had expected. After taking closer looks at each bezel, installing back and forth, the biggest differences between his and my bezel is that his has a consistant reveal around the entire perimeter of the dash. Technically that looks better (maybe thats what MPDano was referring to), but at the end of the day, neither bezel accomplishes what I was trying to accomplish. Looks can be deceiving since Rich's bezel is shallow at the top and deeper at the bottom. I'm at dinner now, but i'll show pics later as to why, unless someone or myself makes a completely different bezel, there isnt anyway to change the angle. Disappointing day and a roadtrip back to Boise on Thursday since the glare from the monitor wont be any different
