I have an 06 cabalt SS. I have fiberglass subs molded in the corners of the trunk so it would be harder to fit the computer back there. Im thinking it would be easier to run the computer in the front of the car. You can still run a wire to the positive lead under the hood. What size screens would you all recomend with a dash kit? I was thinking about getting an 8" and taking it apart and having it sit behind the daskit with a little overhang. If that makes sense. I want the Lilliput but don't know if i should get the 7" or 8". Relocating the buttons and such wont be hard. I also thought about using a slot load cd-rom drive and mounting it where the heated seat controls are(i don't have them so it is a blank space). Any tips or suggestions would be helpful. Good luck with your build.

since u fiberglass i would glass over that entire middle piece in the consol and just cut a hole for where the cd rom drive would be... slot load sorta seems like a hasle but either way it would look cleaner then removing the entire thing

When i said slot load i meant the drive where there is no tray, you just slide the cd in. What size screen would you recommend? the 7" or the 8" screen?

not sure... i recently got an alpien headreast screen that i want to eventually mount in the cener consol and it fits perfect... its a 7" but i also have a 5" clarion that doesnt fit because of the casing. So if you can gut and mount the 8 id say go for it but if your leaving it like it is theres a better fitment chance with the 7 IMO

oh about the slot load... i was confused but ya it would look clean as hell if u just cut the opening where u slide the cd in. Ive been wanting something like that forever
