dxlst, very nice!
but i assume that you have a big hole in you dash right?
for the past few months i have always wanted to put a screen in my car, but then what if i want to trade in/sell my car or worst, someone breaks into my car..
will a 8" screen fit w/ the JDM dvd frame?

1. Keep it nice and trade or trade + cash with someone else when its time to sell.
2. Worse comes to worse its like ~300 bux for a new dash (I *think*), if you're willing to spend all that money on DVD/Nav and a custom install, whats another 300 bux?
Just my $0.02

the 8" screen I think wont fit in the dash b/c there are 2 beams inside the dash, so there's just enough space for mine to be mounted with brackets and template to mount the screen... I'm currently installing a screen (6.5") at the same place as dxlst did.

head unit retails for 1200, the nave screen retails for 1250, the screen frame ?? 40?? and the labor for install looks like about 3-4 hrs.
sound about right for retail???
I have the same hu, but no screen yet, this looks good, but I may wait for the 2.2 2004 to do the mod

I just got a quote from japanparts.
I ordered the frame off Type V model.
Total came out to be 4842 JPY, about $45 US.
Pretty good, eh?
I also got the screen for only 400 bucks....but it's used.
