This is another example on how an aftermarket head unit can look more like factory. Again, same as the others, I mount the deck first and make sure its straight/solid/level. I then make sure the dash can fit around the stereo and trim anything if needed. Then I attach the new radio trim ring to the cars dash, sometimes you might need to add some "abs" plastic to fill in the gaps, this is way better than trying to just fill it body filler/bond because you are guaranteed not to have any cracks in the future. Once you have all the "big" gaps filled with other plastic, its time then to apply your filler, it the area is needing a good bit of filler, start with long strand 'Kitty hair' (bondo with long fiberglass fibers mixed within), if its not too big then use short strand (Filler that has short fiberglass fibers mixed within), if its minimal then use plain bond and if its tiny use body glaze(Finishing bondo). If you start with a bigger gap just work your way down the line to make your "custom dash" last forever. Take a look at all the other projects as it will help you understand the process a ton better.
