well not only that.... but you need to kinda stuff and redo the sides a little to get them to look like they were made that way... i have had to do the same thing to lots of cars... Chevy's, Hondas, Acuras...

if you are just buying the screen, yea 7" ain't going to fit
but

SAVV makes headrest monitors for tC from 7" up to 10.2" with their full headrest and matching interior fabric material with factory. and it comes with a cover so when you don't use it, you can cover it up to aviod uneccessary attention.

SAVV is a bit on the expensive side but the quality is better and you get what you paid for.

Do you have a local auto upholstery shop that can re-do the headrest fabric to match your interior.
