Then I'd move the heater controls into the center vent location &amp; the deck + dvd player into the driver side cubby.

Default Looks good.

I've never been a fan of TVs/DVDs/playstation/etc in cars, but that looks pretty cool.

Default I would do the flip screen..............

that way you wouldn't have to move anything. But maybe I would use the flip down and put the heater controls in the vent hole anyways to keep them acessible. I'm assuming you already have the screen and are stuck with so, I would put the screen in the dash and relocate the heater control to the vents like you have. I would put the reciever/player in the glovebox. That way it would acessible to both driver and passanger and hidden from would be theives and you can lock the glovebox. As for the screen, I would use two strips of velcrow on each edge of the screen, and cut the face of an old radio and may an old heater control an use them to cover the screen from theives.

Default Headrests............

I'm not sure, but I think the back of the headrest would be perfect for putting screens. They already have the holes cut out. Would take much to run the wiring down through and under the seat. Boy, I wish I had money to do these things.
