Why waste your $$ puting TV's in a coupe so your "boys" can have fun .. F$%K them if I can watch TV in my car then no one should be able to watch TV.. If i had kids w/ adt then TV's in a suv or sedan to keep my sanity would make sense..
I dont understand where people go buy a carr for 7-10K then put anouthr 10K in upgrades in it, wouldnt you rather just get a nice newer RL or TL?

They do because they like their car!

To each his own...whether or not that is a "sound" financial move is speculative.

I agree TV's in head rests are questionable because they can not be enjoyed by the driver but look at these Audio freaks who put waterfalls in their trunks...been like that for decades now.

At least the CL has some class...why not throw a couple of LCD's in it...as long as you don't do it all ghetto. My

The CL doesn't seem like a car that one would want to "trick out", but to each his own. Post pics when you get them installed, if you decide to that is.

I saw black on black cl-s on ebay a while back that had a dvd until with a 7 in pop up lcd and two tv headrest. It looked clean and not "BLINGED OUT" or "TRICKED OUT" ..Someone could ask "Why would you put $3,000 rims on a cl?" To each their own. I say do what you want it's YOUR money man.

if i ever have passengers... lol my car is basically a 2 seater... the rears.... don't exist.

anyways IF i had to put a monitor back there, i'd somehow make one fiberglassed onto the armrest area... i guess center console is what you can call it.

but i wouldn't do either, just get a navigation and they can squint.

You can get kits that replace your headrests that have everything built in. Just the wires need to be run. I've seen these on a few different cars(not CL). Just measure the posts & they will fit a pair. Ebay has them.

Again to that point because I was thinking about it...

We can easily put 7k in the CL with rims and an audio system.

Supercharger....?

We can ask this question a million times...

If everybody on Acurazine could afford to put 7k in a 30k car wouldn't they?

And guess what...you buy that newer RL or TL...you are STILL going to put 7k - 10k in upgrades because you still want those upgrades.

Now if I put 20k in a 7k car....I understand.

I would tend to agree with you aznboi2424.

I'm for the most part happy with my CL....wish I had the 6mt but that's another issue.

If I had the money and wanted to run my CL to it's final mile why not throw down some $$$ on damn headrest LCD's...stimulate the economy my friend!

If you kart people around or just want to do something unique (Which I know you are into) sheyat then go for it man.

Probably you'll do it then people will say "Eww....that's cool. Please can you give me DIY on it...."

I meant it's a coupe with small little rear windows. Who's going to see headrest monitors.

These are all good selling points for me. I like having things that not every joe and their brother has.


I think it's a good idea, and will prolly do it as one of my first upgrades. I have a 4 yr old and an almost 3 yr old, that would greatly benefit from head rest monitors for a long road trip.

Or I might rig up my own set-up for cheap. I say go for it.

Again, in my mind, this is all the more reason to do it.
