Just wondering as this was suggested as an alternative to the tv in cut dash idea...does anyone have this or has anyone seen this on the S2000?? If anyone has pics, that would be greatly appreciated too.

I have the SmartTire "monitor" in my visor No room for LCDs...

The visor is very thin and very small... to fit a good-sized LCD (I don't know what its package depth is) you might have to custom fabricate a new set of visors out of fiberglass...

... Larger custom-fabricated visors might ACTUALLY block the sun when down <-- an added benefit!

Actually i went to an audio shop today to check on this and they showed me these new monitors that are specifically made for visors...very thin... they will fit width wise into our visors, however they said they would probably need to make my visor about a 1/4" inch thicker and then re-apolster it which i think i'm going to do....they said it would not affect the visor being able to fold up or other such problems....but now i just reallized for the first time that our visors angle in and are not capable of swiveling outward...arggghhh!! That will cause the monitor to be facing at a slight angle..unless maybe i can have them pad the visor a tad more on one side so that the monitor points right at the passenger/driver....we'll see....i'm on a mission now!
Either way i figure it's probably better than cutting the dash
