Just my two cents... but I never did understand the reasoning of putting a dvd player in a car like a vette. Maybe for the purpose of a car show and the "wow factor", but really why would you want to watch a dvd in a vette? I would also think that an overhead installation would make it about 6" from your head. I am not slamming your idea, just wondering if it is practical.

Never heard of anyone putting one on the targa top - just in the dash.

A couple in our Corvette Club have a DVD player installed and the screens are in both sunvisors, pretty cool.

I own a high end custom audio/visual installation company, Serenity Sound Laboratories.
For a C5 my strong reccomendation is to install an Eclipse Touchscreen Nav system (no pop up screen to block vents and buttons) and if you want additional screens to put them in the sun visors. A Flip Down (or, as it has been called here, overhead) unit is not very practical for a two seater coupe.
