Since you were originally asking about hard mounting an LCD...

Dude that looks dope.....and the touchpad to control. I'd do it that way but looks expensive. I'm trying to get my carputer installed over the holiday...I might just crazy glue the lcd to the gooseneck and then crazy glue the gooseneck behind the hole somewhere.

devoid: how much was the custom face redo? I'm almost at the point where I'm willing to break down and pay someone to custom do one for me.. I can't believe a year later NO ONE has a solution for this yet.

In UK cars the light is in this position (except the dash is a mirror image of the US models, due to RHS drive). Aussie cars don't have this option and have this hole plugged as well (on the LHS as we're RHS drive also).

why not just cut into the dash a hole the size of the lilliput facing down somewhere around where the stock navi is (its just hollow under there), fab up a little tray to fill the hole, take the piece of dash you cut out and glue it on the back of the lilliput, then put a simple hinge on the screen and your tray so you can raise it up to view and then lay it down when not in use and have it look somewhat concealed?

Is that YOUR car? Hawt Dang!
i'm interested in finding out the cost of doing something like that (although i'd be completely satisfied w/ HALF of those mods)
You gonna debut that at the Rotary Revolution? .. i'd love to see it in person.
