Why not mount'em on your rim and make'em spin?

Have a giant 32" on your roof that opens with motors and connect it to an ipod video/xbox 360, remove your trunk lid and while you're driving let people sit in your trunk and play.

I think its perfectly legal and as a matter of fact I just cut a hole for a 10" monitor in the bumper, and I'm going to put in 2 4" monitors also so people can pick their movies.

Is this a purely show vehicle? I guess i just dont understand why anyone would want to install a monitor on the exterior of a car... Unless of course it is for advertising purposes. In which case you might want a bigger monitor and new mounting location.

Really? Reminds me of EVERY PMR episode

I think it's a dumb idea, and I guarantee it'll be illegal. Any colors other than red, white, or orange emitted/reflected from the front/back of the vehicle is a sure fire ticket.

I agree, no screens in the bumber.
I don't think the reasons even need to be discussed.

You know ebonics doesn't come across well in type. Where did you go to school? I think you need to go back, for a while.

If I ever saw a car with a TV mounted in the bumper, I'd back up and run it the f*** over because it's a stupid effing idea and anyone dumb enough to do that ish to their car doesn't deserve to be able to drive.
