The lcd will be connected by a 40 way cable which also supplies the power from the boot to the front of the car, the fan will have a s/s cover laser cut to some design or other and I am thinking of putting a power button on the lcd case also to save a walk to the boot to turn it on and off. I am also thinking of adding this:

Which is a radio usb transmitter that works upto 10m and would save some wiring (just tune in your car radio) they work well too.
I'm thinking of doing this full time, should I???
Thanks in advance for your comments good or bad.
