Sorry if they are too big. Still getting this whole thing figured out. But At least I figured out the hardest part and that's posting the darn things. Very proud of our install though. Very fun car to work on. The best thing on the last picture is that you can't tell it's on the car which is the whole point.

Hence the family 5 seater karma was also born. Oh and of course my three little ones were happy to see they had their entertainment built in as well.
