Ok....so I thought I was going to go w/ the Alpine CDA-9855(CDplayer), install a farenheit LCD in the above cubby and go w/ a middle of the road DVD player. Then I just found this headunit that looks SWEET! It is the BRAND new Alpine DVA-9965. Way better lighting. 9855 has Biolite, the 9965 has Vividbiolite w/ Icons...looks much better to me. Anyway, this unit is a fully digital HD ready DVD player as well. After doing some research on pricing I came to realize.....it's expensive. Cheapest I found it was for $1078, it retails for $1600.
I am starting to wonder if I should just get the Kenwood DDX-7017? I really wanted to have an LCD mounted in the above cuddy spot. But it just seems so much easier to get an all in one unit.
Any suggestions on this?

I was mainly trying to use the above cuddy spot for an LCD but I guess i'll live w/ out. I was curious, while your playing a CD, is there some sort of wallpaper/screensaver on the screen?
And Other pics ALSO HERE
And here is a sneak peak of the car we are doing now, Sorry the dash was a little dusty.
