originally i was going to be using a different 7" touchscreen doubledin,

but plans changed and i went with a different brand.

my problem: the cutout in my dash for doubledin #1 was bigger than double din #2

now i have some space and it bothers the beejesus out of me.

how can i fix this? i drive a '97 Buick Riviera

You cut it before you bought the other radio? Or you swapped them out?

swapped them out

fiberglass a new face in it

this would be my first time trying to fiberglass something.

so im a little freaked out of messing it up even further

Read some how to's, plan out the job and make sure you measure anything you have to cut twice so it fits right the first time. Just take your time and you should be alright.

only problem with buying a new dash is that riviera's are moderately difficult to find for parts

and ever harder to have a matching color lol
