Someone else built one out of an oooold am/fm cassette double din unit that actually had half a tape sticking out of the cover, both for added realism and an easy handle.

I can understand those that just have a LCD not mounted in the dash being worried about security. Like when it's just kinda mounted with a goose neck or some easily removable housing.

What thief is going to go through the trouble of ripping apart fiberglass/bondo work? After it's all said and done it's not going to be worth much after it's all torn up!? I don't get it? It's also not like there's a huge resale market for LCD thugs.

How many cars get their stock LCDs systems ripped out?

well if they don't want to sell it maybe they just don't like the fact that you have something nice and they don't and they just want to screw it up so that you don't have something nice anymore.................

Hell I get jelous but would NEVER... That would be just WRONG. That would be a sad situation. Goes a lot deeper than greedy, profiting theft.

I already have done this

the front off my stock deck (about 1/8in thick) can be snapped right infront of my lcd! so everything looks stock =D

Ah, the moral light shines on this one. Others, it does not shine as bright or possibly not at all.

Expect the worst from people and you are rarely surprised by the lack of reason or sense behind actions.

Mind Scream out

[QUOTE=jaeger]...and place some padding foam on the back [to protect the LCD].

The foam may scratch your LCD, some foams have nasty stuff in it. I would either design it so that nothing touches the LCD or cover the foam with fine polyester (like the stuff eye-glass cleaners are made from)
