    Question My new idea

    I don't use my air con, so I've been thinking about taking out the center vents in the dash and putting an LCD screen in it (that slides out)...To do this I'm going to have to take off the whole dash, anyone know how easy this is, and how to do it?

    I see, but just out of curiosity, how do the dashes come off?

    There is no room for a flip-out screen, but you can *just* fit a flat monitor there. Have a look at my thread for some old build pics. I'll update it with the end result this weekend
    At least one other person here has done it as well. Can't think who it was though

    The OP has a VP, which has a different dash. You could only fit a flat monitor on a VP dash if you built a fibreglass section on top of the actual dash.

    I just put up a pic of the *almost* finished product. I know it might not work for you, but might give you an idea anyway
