Default Monitor???

I am putting my PS2 in my prelude, the cables all work and I have it all done except one little bit of a problem. I have no monitor . I've done some research, but I just cant find one that I like that will fit the application that I want. I want it to like 7-9 inches, and I want it to be kind of concealed. I want it so that the front driver and passenger can play, or the rear, but I want the moniter in the front. Anybody have a montier of this size or any size in their lude, and also if you don't, where do you think would be a good place to put it. Pictures would be helpful. THANKS!!!

in dash's are always good.

but the biggest in dash screen you will find is 7"

pioneer, eclipse, panasonic, alpine, kenwood makes some good indashes.

I dont really want an in-dash, I just want a monitor that doesnt look like I threw it in the car last minute. I want it to be hidden enough so that it isn't exptremely in the way, but i want it visible enough to where people say wow you have a monitor.

See there in lies that dilema. I am cheap, and for good reason, I am getting paid 7.25 and hour where I work. Im on a poor man's budget trying to get my car looking really nice. I also found some pics of cars with monitors that looked awesome, so im thinking about trying one. I agree that in-dash are better and I would love to get one, but im kind of on a budget for this project.

Whoa calm down there rover. I'm sure it's just a good way to advertise the many skills he has, as to doing custom work.

Is there enough room to cut out the from the bottom of the ash tray to the bottom of the HU and mount it in there like some mount their vafc??? Other than that the dash is tooo cramped unless you wish to mount infront of fuel and temp guage.
