Sorry for the pics being down for so long. I had forgot I had posted them here. They are now hosted by verizon. Hopefully there shouldn't be any more bandwidth issues. Once again sorry for the problems.

kick ***, that lcd is a perfect fit there! How did you make such a nice fit? Super Trropers

The LCD looks OEM. Great fit! Can you post more pictures of the car itself? Cool project.

Ugh! That sucks!

Here's a pic of the car alongside my buddy's 92 DX hatch.

The LCD was just a perfect pressure fit. I measured my double din and based off the specs knew it would fit. The only thing I don't like is the hot-glued power switch and IR receiver on the side. Although they aren't that prominent I would have still liked to have come up with some way to make them look more professional. Alas I can't fiberglass that well

Hmm I know what a civic hatchback looks like.
I want to see the install

Looks good. Have you got that camera software running in the car then?

I had to forgo the cam software for now. The cam software works fine when it is run by itself. The problem is when it is called by MediaCar or MediaEngine it will not record or take pictures. My guess is it has something to do with the way it is being called. Probably the CreateProcess() procedure, but I can only guess about this.

Nice looking install! I finally got around looking at your pics w/o bandwidth limit.

You could perhaps resize some of the images, or since they're quite big anyway, just save them with higher compression to save bandwidth. Also, on the second picture, there's a lot of carpet showing! You could crop the rest of the pic so it doesn't show, thus saving even more bandwidth. Just my two pence/cents...
