Default $390 for headrest monitor installed

I'm looking for 7in. monitors to put on my headrest. I was offered $390 for 2 Valor screens installed. Is that a good price?

I think you can do much better than $390. installed.. Your paying almost $400. to have someone rip up your headrests and install tvs think about it..

just order the directed monitors, they come WITH headrests that match whatever car you want to put them in, for a little bit more than your asking. Nice monitors and no cutting required.

Not paying $400 to have someone rip up the headrests... paying $300 approx for the parts and the rest in labor

$300. for parts and labor I dont know where you get your equipment from but here by me you can get 7" monitors for about $120. Thats $240 for (2) so your gonna tell me that it will cost $150. to install them hes getting ripped especially on some no name tvs. . I can go to NY get (2) 7' monitors have them installed in my factory headrests all for around $300. - $330. So like I said $400. to have some rip up your own headrests not worth it... I could see if he was getting (2) new headrests plus install then I'd say do it..

$120 is a very cheap TV. I just assumed $150 each for a mid range TV.

I'm sure you can get some really bad ones for $80 each somewhere, or you can spend $400 each for Pioneer.

It is your money, your car, choose whether you want to spend a little and have them look bad and break later.

I think $400 is a good deal for the Valor screens installed. I know some people would pay a lot more than that.
