    a guy nate did a monitor in his sun visor.... i think he used a 7 inch monitor but not positive....it was a long while back and he isnt a member anymore .... if a 7 inch monitor would fit into the headrest i would use that ... if not isnt there like 5 1/2 inch monitors ?

    well the ones i see that can be ordered already done from best buy for my '02 accord are 7 inch ones. our headrests are a little smaller maybe. i had thought about putting some into my prelude seats, but in the seat back near the top of the seat back. one that can kinda tilt. i wanted some so i can put a dvd receiver in, also wanted to hook up a game system. like my old super nentendo, that would be old school. people thought that was a good idea like if i was in a car show or something. i dunno. i'm not doing my interior right now, i've kinda finished everything i wanted to do as for now on it. but the monitors are something i was still thinking about.

    5.25 should fit well, 7 might be cutting it close. whats the inside of our headrests made of, is it all foam or is there a solid core?

    i havent checked yet to see what they are made of i wanted to see what other people have done before i even looked at more screens,, i already have one screen installed where the tapes would go, and the dvd player under the passenger seet, and the psone the mini playstation hooked up in my glove box, but because where i mounted the screen, when i put in a dvd only the driver and passenger front can see it; yeah thats what i was thinking the 5" screen should do it thanks guys

    lol, just get a big 15" monitor and stick it on your dash, then everyone can see, even the guy 2 cars behind you.

    The PSOne will not fit in the glovebox without some cutting. Well, it will... but you won't be able to open the cd door or plug in controllers and memory cards.

    rather than cutting anything up, get a new SLIM PS2 and make a bracket for it to bolt to the underside of the dassenger side pash. ....er um passenger side dash. that way you are not making any permanent cuts so you can sell the car later and still have it be hidden out of view of any suspect customers.
