Yes, being a high performance make , Nissan headrest tubes are hollow. I had to cut the connectors off to get the wire through though.

How much would you charge to do something like this in a 04-05 Maxima?

i have a video card that has vga and s-video out. run the lcd's off the s-video and just power them from the yellow and black wires on your power supply

Just as a quick reply Ive done 100+ head rests, oversized aside. If you just put the factory screen bezel under the upholstery, removing the foam for needed depth, and if wanted (I usually do)removing the usual 1/2 flare around the shroud, and if the upholstery has what is common a 1/8" plus of padding can be scrapped off up to the bezel line, so that all that is inserted in to the screen beze is the vinyl, no padding, usually works on even the tightest bezel/screens
another added trick to make sure it goes in good is to make sure the cuts at the corners are near the edges, you may want to keep them longer but it will cause problems of pulling the vinyl in to the bezel, also use silicone spray to lubricate the vinyl before insertion, it will dry and the monitor wont slip out.

This all leaves a more factory flush look, with no gaps on the corners as can be seen on these surface mounted screens. any question please ask.
been doing this for 12 years.

There are no gaps in the corners, but this was only my first headrest screen installation. I don't believe there is any way the upholstery could have fit between the bezel and the screen.

what I meant was the far outer edges of the screen bezel, especially at the top is not touching the vinyl its hovering in the air(it looks like it in the picture anyway). Looks damn good for a first time, I havent had to many times where the material wouldnt fit into the bezel, but have scene it happen, If you want that really clean look what you do is use ABS or MDF to fabricate a new bezel that will allow for the vinyl/leather gap, takes another 1/2 of work but looks alot better, I dont even offer surface mount screens at the shop anymore. you just lay the screen on the MDF and put dbl stick tape on it to account for the thickness of the vinyl, then trace and cut, ABS is trickier you have to get 1 long piece and bend it where you want then weld the 1 seam.
Just trying to help.
