got quoted 250 per side to put the screens in the headrests

is this the going rate

thats more than the lcds themselves

should i do it myself then

cheers

when you consider that they upholsterer has to get the material, make new skins and make a bit on it for time - that price is about right.

i thought the just cut the hole out and pope em in and secure them like the how to in this forum says?

nope. if you read a forum all day you may not really learn how things are done... (think about it!)
what you described is a hack way of doing it.

It depends on the headrests really...there is a proper way of doing a job or the "cheap" way

If the headrests have holes in them,yes,they have to be redone but if they are a full padded headrest,mark out the hole and make diagonal cuts,dig out foam and install to metal posts frame. that's the easy way and looks like factory.

the way they where gunna do it is install em into stock head rests by cutting the old X shape into the material then taking the foam out and screwing it onto a mounted backing plate

for $250

thats from autobarn airport west i think it was

then i rang autobarn sunbubry after ringing other places and they will do the same thing for $88 a side

thats $172 as opposed to $500

airport west must not have wanted the job then

although other places i rang qouted between $100-$200 a side

the difference will be a quick cheap job compared to a professional job.

the higher price would give u a better result - its just deciding what kind of quality ur after

maybe you don't want a top quality job?

AAPW is the only autobarn i would recommend. they do nice work and Kris is a true car audio enthusiast who 'cares'.

but you obviously need to weigh up the pros and cons. indeed you may prefer the $$ in your pocket you may be very happy with the cheaper job. no probs there.

yeah i guess your 100% right

yeah ive seen that WRX the blue one they had there i think its sold tho
that thing didnt have anything on the interior that hadnt been changed
