I will be adding them but have not yet it looks like they will need to be recovered
to do it properly but that is j/m/o. The visor is very thin with little structure like a tahoe which is a little thicker i might start on them this week maybe have in for El Toro but it depends on my work load

I'd be happy enough with a mirror and lights for the passenger side visor.

The same way as the ones you cut into the headrests. It's exactly the same.

how would the visors stay closed? I had a cd sleeve on the visor and even then it was hard for it to stay closed. :? By the way I was thinking about the visor also, but found another way, if you are going to El Toro, you'll see it in person. :D

Here are a few diff. types of monitor solutions that you can get so u don't have to cut your own headrests or visors.

Audiovox, Accellevision, Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Eclipse, Panasonic, Clarion, Sony, IconTv, SAAV, Santeca, DEI, and Myron & Davis to name a few. There are tons of manufactures out there. Just be careful and see it before u buy it. Some monitors have an attractive price tag but it is usually because it has some design flaws or cut some corners on quality. I had 2 emerson 5" Headrest Monitors. They did ok for about 4 months and then one went black and white. The other had about 10 rows of pixels burned out. It also had ghosting problems as well as a bad picture if you were off axis. Some people who haven't seen a nice quality monitor before do not think they are that bad, but once you see a monitor thats worth the extra money you won't go back. We have Audiobahn monitors now and they don't look too bad either.


These are the new Accele headrestmonitors I have now.
