First off....major props to Ken (threegpsi) for making this possible. For those who dont know, I am building his new webpage (Welcome to 3gcustomz.com! Home of the Sickest Customz in the Dirty South!) and this was my payment. It still needs a lot of work, but I have nothing but time now! Another big shoutout to Kerry (NycTnTMag) for getting me the hookup on some new software so I can build the page! Bean these guys and bookmark the page!
So now to the screens! Yesterday was a great mod day for me. At 330pm the man in brown showed up to my door with not only my center console, but also with my headrest monitors. I spent some good time cleaning the new console (it was a bit dusty) and then I was off to the car. Ripped the old one out, got the new one in. It was fun, but I had another mod waiting for me. My wife said to me, why dont you pull one of the headrests out and maybe you could start working on it. I wasnt sure, but I went ahead and grabbed the passenger side out.

So I sit down with it, take my rough measurments...

I tape off around the bezel, look at it...make it level..then I commit! I cut into that fabric like it was butter! I roll the edges back and I start taking enough foam out to fit the depth, then worked on the corners and straignt lines for the bracket.
Once that was done, I worked the bezel underneat the fabric and mounted it level and secure.

I cut off all the tips of the "triangles" and get all of my cuts close to the corner of the inner bezel. Once that was said and done I drilled a hole in the bottom of the foam, towards the headrest post, for the video/power line. I ran the cord through, hooked it to the screen and worked the screen into there. (Takes a little work when you dont want the bezel exposed) Finally, I have her all buttoned up, fabric stretched properly and I still have some time left. (kinda, wife made me stop for dinner)
Headrest #1: DONE

*I might take the screen out and shave the top of the bezel corners to fit the headrest contour...we will see.
Here is a side shot. It sits pretty flush

Now it was time for Headrest #2
I took both headrests back in the house to ensure they were positioned the same. I repeted the previous steps and finshed mounting the screen. Went back out to the car and slipped them in!
Only thing I wasnt able to do was wire my A/V switch box...that will be this weekend! (yes, that is why the video wire is not tucked away into the seat yet!!!)
Headrest #2: DONE

All that and only 1 injury...and that was while I was taking the battery cover off of the headphones.

And I still have one more mod to come soon!!!! (Stay tuned!)
