Default Monitors in head Rest

Has anyone put screens in there head rest.. I am tryin to fist Alpine 6.5 wide screens in mine but im afraid it will distort the look of the head rest and make it ugly. Anyone know of any headrest that are bigger adn fit and if i can get them in the same leather and piping?

They look sweet. I know at the Carson meet, there was in IS with monitors in the headrests.

6.5 seems like a good decent size. It shouldnt **** up the headrest at all.

When I wanted an LS, i looked in to this same issue, and I could fit 7s in there, but the motor in the rest was a problem. The headrest isnt that much smaller is it?

The LS's headrests are too small for 7inch and it will look ugly with them on, I currently just put 5.6's in the back and the spacing is equally perfect on both sides.

I think 7 is just too big. 6.5 is the biggest I would go IMO.

Here's my Alpine 6.5 in the headrest. Remember, these are the rear that I had to swap to the front.
