Looks great! I was thinking of putting a large screen on the roof too, but didn't know if it could be done. I guess so. What make is it?! How big is the screen. Love the placement of the Playstation...ingenious! Where are the controllers kept!?

i work part time at a shop in belleville, nj. the only thing i don't do(even though i can) is alarms..

the install was as follows..

if you take out the dome light there are 2 8mm studs that come out of the metal from the ceiling. what i did was get a piece of maybe 4 by 6inch metal plate and drilled the appropriate holes to match up.. then i use self tapping screws to mount the tv.. of course i had to hook up the the dome light, run power, and video rca also.

actually i am going on my 3rd set of rims.. the first(arelli assasins) ones can be seen at www.acura-tl.com in the gallery section. the 2nd set i had were niche fly's. the 3rd you will see hopefully in the next 2 weeks. the front skirt is the factory skirt molded into the bumper by my friend who works at a body shop. the back is being redone now.

yes it is the mugen front grill


springs -&gt; eibach w/ koni adjustables

can't afford the 22in flat screen yet

trunk is not for a while, but if ya wanna know what will be in there...

probably 4 RF power series 10's either RF 1000 or memphis, RF symmetry (12volts out ... yummy) probably with fiberglass and leather finish in the trunk.. right now i still need to re wood up the center portions of the console and make a presentable display for the psx and purchase the 6 disc changer that will go in the center compartment as seen in the pic

What was the path you took to run the rcas and such as not to be seen or have bulging out of the ceiling? I was thinking of doing something similiar (one big screen is better than 2 little ones =) ) but haven't had a lot of time to check it out and it seems that you are damn good at it cause your ride looks sweet

i ran the rca's from one side and the power and what not from the other to make it even. it bulges out but not noticably.. if i ran all the wires on one side it would be noticable.
