as far as the screen goes i can make some kind of support + lots of glue.... some metal supports a couple screws...i dont know i will make somethign up when i start putting it toguether .. i just need to learn how to work with this bondo stuff.....

true it can be done without a kit, but the kit makes it easier and gives you a more solid install. The weight isnt just sitting on the shelf in the dash, it is also supported from the sides. I wouldnt want to mount a flip out screen without the kit..... and you get the nice trim ring. Not bad for $10.

this piucture is what i did ... I bought the kit from Scocshe it was for my vehicle and the double din but it would;t work with the 2 single dins..

all is fine now as they are uper tight in there now.. No movement at all..

Looks awesome!!

I was curious as to how you are powering it. The hp vectras require 19volts dc. I was thinking of using a combination of a jumpstart pack and a 12 volt to 19 volt convertor. This way I can use the car to keep the pack charged, it would isolated the computer from reseting due to cranking and I would always have a jumpstart pack charged and ready if I needed it!

The jumpstart pack is a great idea. To power the computer just buy a universal laptop car charger. I got mine for like $20 off ebay. Just set it to 19v and put the proper connector on it and you are good to go.
