i personally like the regualr din sized flip out i think it would give the user alot more options on what they could do with it, depending on if they didnt want to use it for a flip out monitor

exactly, and that is what others feel as well, you know for carputers, or very wide range of single din application.

Well, my intentions weren't to turn this thread into a single din process one, but at least it will still keep it alive, and help keep others looking for that single din, and well it is in the HEADUNIT thread, so I guess it makes sense.

Here's some pics, I sanded down the kitty hair to a somewhat smooth surface, then I laid my VERY High Build Slicksand Primer only in the areas that I needed(where I glassed), Once it is dry, I will sand it smooth, then I will start to fill in.

put the single din in and see how it looks.

Well yes, single din will most likely work, but every accord owner on the accord forum is hating because of the bigness of the single din compared to the half din, if I had done single din in the first place, they wuda been like awesome, wow

moving right along...Well I just got tracking for the single din, it won't be here at least until Saturday-Monday, Sooo, once I get it, I will make brackets to hold the single din in place, those brackets will be mounted to the underside of the piece and have screws that go into the single din's sides, so it will be easily removeable, Then I will paint it, and reinstall the screen.

Pics for now, still have some minor bumps and pinholes to fill.

Thanks man, the single din gets here on Monday, it is a cheap pyle, but I just need it to make sure I can get the Single din to work, and I didn't want to waste money on an expensive HU if I didn't get it to work properly,

I just am very mad about the half din not being able to be found anywhere, I get at least 3-4 new inquires a day, saying "I defintely want one", urghhh!!!

There is a guy out of Hong Kong I used to get screens from all the time on ebay, I will check and see if he has any. They were in the price range you were looking at iirc. I will let you know as soon as I find out from him.
