Default Anyone put TV's in your S2K?

I wanted to replace the stock CD player with a flip out DVD/TV/MP3 player. The problem is, there is not enough room for the flip out screen to fully come up because of the location of the stock CD player. So what I was think was to get the DVD player mounted in the stock CD location and then get (2) 5.6" screens in the sun visors. Anyone ever do a system with TV's? Im open to any suggestion. Please send some pics if you have.
Thanks,
Kyle

Someone put a cut out in the dash above the radio and did this. But I wouldn't do it if I were you. Going 70mph on the interstate with the top down, you would hardly be able to hear a movie, let alone enjoy surround sound and such. It would be a waste of time and money.

I had a Kenwood TV/DVD in my Z28. When I bought the S2000, I was pretty upset at the fact that the TV wouldn't be able to flip out all the way because of the akward radio placement. I researched this topic a few weeks ago and came up with a few pictures. There's an S2000 with LCD's in the visors, and it looked very clean. Try to do a search for something like "visor LCD" and hopefully you'll come up with something.

Ok I found the picture of the S2000 with LCD's in the visors. Personally, I think it looks great and would consider doing it.

5" LCD's that are .75" thick fit just about perfect.

Kwando - that's an awesome audio/video job! What brands carry the LCD's and how much do they go for?

They are Farenheit 5". You can find them on the net for $150 with the housing and even cheaper without the black housing.

ok, can I ask a stupid question, can someone explain why we would need a TV in the S2000? I mean driving the car is already like playing a real life video game for me, having monitors playing a video etc in the car would just distract me to no end. Dont get me wrong, I think they look cool and such, but I just dont see the use. When do you guys use these TV's? Are these show cars?
