I want to do 2 flip downs in place of my vanity mirrors in the back (actually make it look stock in the mirror flip downs), I think that'd be tight....

I was thinking dual DVD players that'd project **** out the back window, like the DFW brothers do around here in their Caddys...

I think I'm go with headrest monitors instead.. much more cost effective.

Do you know if the headrest poles are hollow and solid??? so the wires can be hidden?

^ haha good question, I haven't taken the time to take a look at it. But I don't have my head rest in the up position at any time... so hiding the wires for my car shouldn't be a big issue.
