7 in. LCD Screens Cheap :)

My uncle has a 2001 Lexus RX300 and he wants to get two 7 Inch Screens with a DVD Player, He says he will just stick them on to the current headrests, but I dont get what he means..

I told him he can get ones built into the headrests and he says that they are too expensive..

Basically he needs help in buying them, and where

THANKS!

The best way to do it is get whatever screens he wants, like myron&davis, and cut the headrests and install the screens in them. bad part is, if you trade the car, gotta replace the headrests. but thats the price we pay for bling bling!

why do you have to replace the headrests when u replace the car?

Before my uncle had a 1999 RX300 before he got a 2001, and when he bought the 1999 he had them install the tv in the headrests and they installed a DVD player in the back too..

And he traded it back in for the 2001.. So I dont get it

Anyways where can I buy them cheap?

Ya on his last car, he had some guy from Best Buy do it, He paid him $100 on the side

And the guy put the LCD's in the headrests, and put a DVD Player in the trunk, it was a clean install

I am going to be getting 5.6 inch monitors in my gs and am gonna be getting the monitors off ebay. I was quoted a 100 bucks for both rests installed. This is from a reputable shop. Your area may be different in pricing.
