Here's a couple of pics of a project that i just completed.
It is a 7" TV molded into the dash, where the stereo was before.
Let me know what you guys think.
Will soon be posting some pics of a cut-through that should be getting started this weekend.

Nice job Dude !! Clean !!. How's the viewing angle of the screen during the day ? I ask because I know those SiR Civic's have a sloping dash away from the driver so the glare from the screen would be crappy.

looks good but you should have thought of molding the face of the screen into the dash instead of the bezel. its a little more work but looks mor factory in the end

Viewing angle is not that great because of the shape of the dash, but looks ok in a shaded area. as for molding the face of the stereo it was the customers tv that was brought in and didn't want to do it just in case of problems with the tv. Will post a couple of pics of a dodge ram i did with a 7" tv with the face molded also.

i laughed pretty good at your quote "never put a pyle tv in that would be hard to get out" i guess they're called a "pile" for a reason! nice job on the screen though!, i like your work.

Damn man that looks way easier than flushing a monitor into the dash... I'm going to start installing monitors like that from now on.
