i'd go OEM honda navigation system. even if it costs alot... it looks better too... i think its worth buying a jdm bezzel, tilting it towards the left side, heat gunning the dash after you bore a hole in it. coz aint no one gonna wanna jack oem stuff... its just not flashy enough.

IMO, looks too big.

Also, it looks like you would have some pretty strong "glow" coming from that screen inside the "little" s2000 cockpit. It could look pretty funny.....

Looks like a nice piece however, sure it fits better in the minivan....

I got a Cobra navi system which is 7 1/2in X 4 1/2in with a 5.2in screen and it
works great when I need it... Otherwise is in the trunk of my S or in my other car.
A nice large screen is great, sepecially in an unknown area where you
need to see where you're at and where you're going.
You can always take it out of the car when you don't need it.
Besides, if you leave it in the car, you're only adding more weight.
