Does ANYONE have visor screens?

I took my visors to an audio shop about 5 weeks ago. I finally got them back yesterday. They look horrible. Does anyone have theirs already done? If so, PLEASE post pictures of them and where you got them done. I told the company that did them that there is no way I would put them in my car and they better fix it. I'm pretty pissed off aboutt eh whole situation. Especially after spending over $700 on them.

I have my headrests done (which I did myself) and thought about doing the visors too... I haven't seen anyone on here with them done though... I think its pretty cool just to have em. (This is coming from a guy who never has people in the back seat to use the headrests). Still cool though

Yeah, I have a 5 inch screen... it was too much at first but now I'm used to it. It's a awesome mirror b/c it's so large and I can see the entire freeway behind me! lol...

I got a '03.5 Sedan... The install was way easier than most install shops would like you to beleive. It was just dam tough to find a decent screen which fit in to the headrests...

So... basically no one has them done. From what I have been told the visors are too hard to cut into. I guess they are not like a regular visor. I took it back to the shop and told them to take care of their ****ty work. If not then I'm going to get the raw screens and have a guy that I know do it. He's amazing with interior stuff and he would love a challenge. Btw, Gee Im fast... The screens are Icon-TV. Not some piece of crap ebay screens. The screens alone retail for $397 each.

I just did my driver side last night. I used a pyle 10.2 inch widescreen that is meant to be used as a rearview replacment. Its very easy to do actually. I took out the mirror, traced the raw lcd on the cloth, cut the cloth with a blade, dremeled the plastic in the same shape, glued in the monitor with the wires comming out the wire path. pulled the cloth to the edge of the screen, glued it down, then took the glass, glued it over the top. then took some home depot rubber trim and made it look nice
