14" LCD

I finally got the monitor I wanted and got it installed into the dash.
It's the 14" MAG lcd from BestBuy.
I fabricated the existing dash to allow me to shoehorn this thing in!

I did kinda lose a little space. This thing took up the spot for the HVAC and a little storage compartment for cellphone and wallet kinda stuff and also my fold out cupholders. I don't care about the cupholders, I don't eat or drink in my truck.
I have just bought a floor console piece for the new Dodge SRT10 that will allow me to fabricate a spot for the HVAC and get back 2 of my cig adapters.
here is a thread describing the install some what.

Thanks guys! It was pretty scary since I baby my truck and then took a dremel and chemicals to it!! LOL
That and it was my second shot at fabrication. The first monitor was done in vinyl and I looked horrible.
Thanks again for the compliments. Once my other floor piece has come into the dealer I will finish it up and update the thread.....
