i had bought gray ones with 7in monitors built in. i have cloth interior but the headrests are in gray vinyl. nobody even notices. 7in should be sufficient enough.

tan, beige, parchment are all hella diff colors, those are the things you should get the part # compare in person at an audio store then buy online. (beach audio, sonicelectronics etc..) my cousin in vegas just got 12" headrest tv's in his escalade.. it sounds big but it looked hella bada$$ and not too crazy. too bad we dont have that optioin i'll be there the end of feb and see if i can take pics

im thinking putting 7 in but would like to go big as poss...if i can find them already built in headrest i'll go that way...i was 10" if i did it that way...and 10's in the back of the front seats...contemplating on another flipdown or not as well...right now i'm looking at having 7 or 8 monitors...now...i've been toying with the idea of the rear quarter glass to be filled up with a monitor on each side...down the road for that...lol

7" is about the highest you can go and keep the screen eyelevel, if you go bigger the screen has to be lower and almost chest level, I went thru this when i first put my screens in. for the second row 10's would be good but keep in mind if there on at night they will glare very bad off the back glass. rear quarter glass screens would go hard in the paint (sweet) but not with big beat(subwoofers)... i dont think it would hold up unless you get like "tough book" tvs

the only other option would be to get the limited upper seats not sure the years of the second generation but some have the removable headrests, prob a PITA to swap out

Don't forget, you still have to be able to use the rear view mirror, just a thought. LOL

for what...thats a negative...my son caught a cop looking at a movie he was watching last summer...lol...my side mirrors are out all the way so i really dont use my review unless backing up...then i have the rear sensors...i have a 12 inch flipdown already...good enough...i'm blacking out the 2nd row back anyways...5% on top of the 15% thats already on top of the factory...5% only on fronts...20% on windshield then 5% visor...

thats the only reason I dont want to get flip downs, I use the crap out of my rear view. I'm pretty good at cop headlight idenetification, since im like always speeding with the exception of when I slow it down so the "gold diggers" can count my spokes

lol, true... I'm used to having cars with small side mirrors so I have always relied on my rearview

and for what it's worth, the factory flip-down is too big/poor design to begin with... when my kids are watching TV, I just know to use my sides. I can't see sh*t with it down. And it's what, like a 7in? I wish I had headrest TV's so bad...
