Is the wood grain bezel 100% custom or did you take the existing bezel and trim it?

In the last few pics in the first post, you can see I used an OEM bezel, but cut it up to make the backing of the min.

So you had to buy an extra bezel with the wood grain to complete the project? Maybe i cant see it well in the pics but how did you blend the pieces together?

It didn't matter the wood grain pattern/color. Once built, the entire thing was primed/painted and the hydro-dipped to kook just like the Denali wood grain.

Oh wow! Now i get it. I was thinking you used another bezel and just cut out what you needed. Nice work!

That's one of the best designed and thought out iPad installs I've seen in a LONG time. Kudos to you, sir.
