AC Trim Surround for the top of the bottom??

Does anyone make a trim surround bezel that will allow you to mount the HVAC (AC) control unit in the lower console, but above the sunglass shelf? I would like to keep the shelf in the bottom (stock) position and mount the AC above it.
Thanks

The upper space in the lower console (if that even makes sense) is a regular rectangular shape

I would therefore guess you could use the same surround that is used when the AC is mounted in the higher/upper console


EDIT - Having said that, they look the same width, just need to check they're the same height too

Are you looking to Move your HVAC to the lower section. I'm not 100% clear. Here's an image for reference. I forgot who's interior this is to credit.

I'd like to do the opposite of the above picture. I want to put the AC above the cubby hole.

I'm guessing yours is in the top part of the dash at the moment?
And you're looking to fit an aftermarket satnav?

If so, the upper dash should have the trim piece you need

The space in the lower console is a single DIN slot so you can use the trim you already have

Let us know if thats what you're doing?

marioleft1 is on a distinguished road
I was looking for this piece and tried to make it out of ABS (come out horrible. Then I thought why not print it, after googling the part number and .stl for a bit I came across this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/291596313871...84.m1555.l2649

So I gave it a shot, just printed it out I need to upload the photos but fricking thing is perfect! I guess if you don't have a 3D printer it would be a little harder to source but I paid 99 cents. Any who just figured Id share for some others in the same situation.
