Wow that is the nicest screen install I have seen yet in a Corolla! Fantastic job.

nice car. good job.

Good looking install. One thing I might worry about is the foamy stuff you have your cable wrapped in. That stuff is just conductive enough to short out your electrical equipment if not checked properly.

oh yeah. get that **** off your motherboard!

Thanks guys!

Ok, I removed that thing. It was just protecting the soundcard from the top of the case.

Thanks!

Riscy: I actually went to a store where install car sound systems and told them what I wanted to do. The guy that made the built took the front frame of the monitor and attached it where the radio was before, between the air ducts.
Then he covered the gaps with polyester (reinforced), some primer and sprayed it in mat black.
