OK need a few opinions on something. I traded my sterio to get a 13 inch flip down monitor thinking i can get more money if i sold it. Thing is I don't know any one with a suv or big caddy. So i decided i want to install in my ride but i have a 95 civic coupe. Would it look wierd if i were to put in it. and i also have a sunroof , and i'm not exactly sure how to do it. I've installed tvs before but never a roof mount. Need a little help.

its not going to look all that good first because of the size of screen and second because of the sunroof ,since u have a sunroof this means the screen will have to be placed farther back ,unless all u wish is to entertain little kids or an extremely short person the screen is going to be right in the face of your passangers and with out a doubt block your view out of rear window dramatically through rear view mirror remember civic is a very low car compared to an suv.......

mold it into the dash!!!! youll just have to relocate the HU and HVAC controls. but i think 13 MIGHT be alittle too big. take the screen and hold it on the dash and see how it looks.

Mold it into the dash?? it's a flip down; an overhead yea if u take it apart and go to extremes of custom fabrication for that kind of $$ u might as well go with an in dash motorized flip up screen he explains he's not too sure how to do it so to me that says not a professional just yet ( no pun intended)......

he said to give him a suggestion, so i did. and its not that difficult or expensive to mold in a screen, its just time-consuming.

Are You Willing To Ship It If The $$$$ Is Right?

It's like ever clear or something i just want like $75 for it. Only thing it doesn't have the power harness so you're gonna have to run a power and negitive to where the harness is suppose to be. I tested it and it works. It's just a little banged up. I live near chicago, IL. I guess i'll be willing to ship it but i've never shipped something before so you'll need to tell me how.
