I think it is silly that you got a tv in your engine bay, but i would sure like to see it, and s*** i didnt pay for it. +1 for you
actually, I think its silly too, and not practical at all... whereas most of the stuff we did to the car (me and my custom shop) has its purpose, a lot of it doesn't...
Trunk: setup is for Rockford Fosgate... looking to get sponsored by them in the future, therefor you must rock their stuff, display their name, and go to car shows... the false floor was supposed to be plain, but it looked empty on the sides, therefore we threw in a couple of monitors for added eye appeal when being judged at shows. THe trunk lid was originally supposed to have only the component speakers. Again, when at shows, showing off your car, it helps to be able to hear the words to the song ur listening to... the center looked plain, thus the idea of an extra monitor there to show whatever video ur playing in the interior.
Engine bay monitor: completely unnecessary, but FREE... my custom guy wanted to see if it could me done, so I used an extar engine cover I had in storage and we did it... just wanted to see i it could stand up to the heat of the engine, and with a custom heat shield, it does so nicely! There are also speakers custom mounted in the engine bay so you can hear what's the video in the front the same way you do when watching videos in the trunk
so for you, because you recognize the ridiculousness in my car, but are still curious, i don't mind sharing with you why we come up with some of the crazy stuff we do... for car shows, insane stuff done tastefully gets you points... at night, the car looks insane, that's why I love night meets/car shows...
and then there's always the good old Kanye West quote "plus I spent $400 bucks on this, just to be like _____ you aint up on this..lol"
