i thought people just glassed over it entirely and then cut the hole back in the dash for the head unit to fit..... but i may have mis understood you.

sand as much as you can then use filler. dod u use the woven or random matte? the woven is much easier to get smooth but not as strong as random. id only use fleece fo a speaker box or building a whole dash(way to much sanding to get it to the finishing stages.)as for the vent just finish trhe lassing and cut out with a dremel or something. obviously youll need a braket in back to hold the flip out in, but it shouldnt be too bad.
