rain x ftw

 

I mounted my Kenwood reverse cam above my license plate. There was already a hole there so no drilling was needed. The view while reversing is amazing, even at night, and I haven't had any issues with the rain.

Here's a pic https://www.cobaltss.net/gallery/sho...=3&userid=8630

 

The over all idea came from having a black car and not liking the silver key hole on the back of my trunk i thought about painting it and was at the same time looking at reverse cams for my pioneer z2 when i saw the round one on ebay......... i know its been done but thought it would be a cool concept vs. having the key hole shaved or painted make use of the hole.

no drilling required*

can you post a link to which camera you ordered and a pic of what the night vision looks like on the screen.

 

nice i to would like to see what it looks like with the nightvision.

 

well purple it finally came in!


Well i just finished this about 15mins ago so here it is! I put a backup camera in place of my key hole on the trunk( now i know some of you are thinking "hey what happens if your solenoid goes bad?" well easy i re-routed one of the seat pulls to the little baby seat latch opening on the rear deck, so when that day comes i can pop the little door and pull the release!), its pluged into my panosonic head unit, it has night vision and i was only able to take these pics at night so the grains in the headunit is due to its auto nightvision mode, but ealier when i test fitted it and powered it up, the day time vision is perfectly clear, heres the pics!!!

 

damn that i like pics of the re route

 

lovein it! zeebee your cameras a little different than mine but still looks just as good!!!!!!!!!!!!! theres 2 of us now and my buddy who has a supercharged ss just ordered one too!!!

 

now we need pics of what the video looks like on urs purp

 

video? you mean image?

 

ya u know what i mean, image quality video quality same ****

 

Here are some day shots full screen is while in reverse and then on the z2 theres a hauling mode where you can watch what your are toeing or just see who your are beating

 

damn thats nice. makes me miss my car

 

emp whats goin on with your car are you getting a new balt or what?

 

no its still in the shop a billion years later. they told the insurance it would be done before x-mas then told me they would have it by today.

 

damn i saw the pics that sux man, i gotta question i know there are how tos on how to paint the headlights i got paint and am going to buy sealant but have never taken headlights apart to paint them is it hard?

 

painting them? i woudlnt know but taking them apart isn't too hard. just be slow and use a heat gun

 

didnt you paint the inside of your projector headlights when you did the ccfl

 

i had them painted yes but i dont **** with paint... i usually mess up spray paint projects so i pay my friend that has done a few cars before to paint them. the LBM paint was expensive thou. 75 for a pint

 

was it just me but that one pictures was black and white and kinda grainy or was that the night vision mode?

 

a guy i traded trunks with (hi wing 4 low wing) had it installed but he drilled the hole a little bigger for the camera

 

i didnt post night vision pics i will later, the camera i purchased fit the keyhole exactly!

and if you think the day shots look grainy remember its a tv screen for a car not a 1080p television or anything spectacular

 

the other picture was perfectly clear... so ya i still feel its grainy.

 

ya i think it looked like the best fit... just those uv leds get to me
