what size monitor is that? 8"-9"? oh, and for the face color - i'd keep it grey like the rest of the dash. just my $.02

can't wait to see this in person!! only a few weeks until that opportunity. good luck on the completion, kenny. chat soon...

You got some big brass ones. No way I'd be cutting up my dash (hard to find a replacement if you "slip up")! I think the "hump" would look better if it was rounded and had 1 1/2 inches knocked off its hieght (so it hugs the top of the monitor more). Keep up the work...can't wait to see the finished product.

I completely agree, on the crushed velvet, . I would not have attempted this if I didn't have a spare dash console - I picked one up last year from a member parting out his VX. The only permanent cut is a 2" notch out of the dash nose, but with a bit of magic, it can be fixed.

I'm not kidding on the velvet either, I am considering trying out some black suede or something on this side of tacky to see if I could cut down the dash glare on the windshield. Matt black paint might work too...
I'm not yet going to go to carpet... eh, Larry?

Hey Dood, one word...bed liner.

Hey Dood, one word...bed liner.

uh, that's two.

You cut both hands off and can't count any higher than one now??

[Ldub]

Something like that...but I can still see my toes, so I can count to eleven.

Hint: VX dash console is exactly the same to Rodeo 96-97 and they were available for Rodeo in different color

It's threads like this that give me really bad ideas for the 30" LCD sitting in my closet and the spare XBox360 still in the box, heh. A screen like that could redefine "monitor in the headrest".

But, no sir, no can do. I still maintain one hell of a stock interior, stereo system aside. Even took out the 7" LCD and XBox (unless I go camping, heh). Thinking of redoing the entire sound system this year anyways. All of it. Integrated LCD screen perhaps. We shall see.

Keep up the crazy, inspiring ideas. *thumbs up*
