why didnt you just mold the screens plastic to the console, and form it all as one? seems that would have been easier, and better looking. now it looks like you have a monitor in the hole, instead of all being as one. it does look good though, good job.

I used fiberglass resin to fill the clock hole and then put bondo on top to smooth it out. As far as why not mold the screen to the dash....I all ready had to send one Lillipout back and in case I have to do so again I might as well make it easy. Thanks for the ideas guys.

Can you post how it looks completely installed? Also, does the shifter block the view of the monitor?

Yeah, I'm curious too. The gear shift (5spd) in my car (89 I-mark XS hb) is the only thing keeping me from moulding in a screen. I'm probably going to just attach it to the dash!

Thanks,
Joe

Get a short shifter kit for your accord. You will be able to lower the shifter closer to the floor and will still be able to mount the screen.

nice work.

how big was your former display?

i'm looking to get one that size to replace the 'trash receptacle' for the rear passengers.

i'm going to make a guess that his car is automatic.

there's a button on top of that shifter.

hey that's pretty dash you got there...care to share how you lit it up? [i've been thinking about replacing the guages i have with a brushed aluminum plate, with the numbers and stuff cut-away, and red led's showing through]...

you did verrrry well on the whole package

Thanks for the feedback guys! My former display was a 5" raw lcd that got that job done but pales in comparison to the 7" Lilliput. Yeah...my car is an "automagic" acura cl but I am trying to save some $$ for an H22 with a manual tranny. My gauge cluster is lit up with reverse indiglo gauges. I need to get a digi cam so I can post final install shots.

Looking great! I must admit - I would not do that with a Honda

project94coupe...

where did you get that 5" lcd? does it take vga or rca input?

and where in the dc metro area are you?

it would be cool to see that setup in person.

thanks.
