I must say you have some exceptional 2yr olds for them to watch a movie...my 4/6 yr old will watch a whole movie if it's a cartoon or "Kid" movie, but even they get bored my 2yr old there is no way in hell he is going to sit and watch a movie.

Good luck and don't say I didn't warn you when that little tyke get's out of his/her carseat and breaks that nice little LCD mounted to the headliner. The best thing I have found is singing goofy little kid songs for keeping my 2yr old at bay at least until he falls asleep.

Good luck and enjoy those kids they grow up way too fast and you'll wish you heard the pitter patter of little feet again at least my wife and I do with our 13yr old and even our 6yr old their growing up.

I hear ya man. My 2 year old will Watch Dora the Explorer for as long as you'll leave the tv on. I think there is some subliminal hypnosis with that damn show. She'll probably be bilingual by 5

I've seen monitors put in Sparco seats so I'm assuming it could be done with the Recaros.

My vote's for the drop down screen in the headliner. And after you do this, let me know. I have a 3 yo and a 1 yo that will eventually need entertaining. I've had the car 8 days now and the wing is still entertaining. quote from my 3 yo..."Daddy, look at the wing. You see it? It's cool!"

do not do a flip-down monitor. That will look tacky as hell in the evo.

My suggestion to get the fiberglassed screen in the rear center console would be expensive, but well worth it. I would charge about 500 total for the job myself.

It would be difficult to put monitors in our seats as there isnt that much room, you would have to go with a pretty small screen. I will look into this and see what screen might fit in there and post up the information..

I'm gonna have to stick with the DVD in a bag like I have now i think. I forgot about the harness holes in the seat (didn't have the car yet when I made this post) and i'm thinking ceiling monitors will look "ghetto" lol.
