Who needs a mirror?
Sunday, April 29, 2007 5:31 PM
Its 2007... Time to get digital bitches!





Had to drill out a little bit of the key hole, maybe a 1/32 or 1/16" wider.... But its so sweet!

I gave it a day light drag today, and i can see sparks in the day time coming out the back, so im going to have to find a way to record video from it.

Its a Pyle brand. I got it off ebay for about 50 bucks.

your h/u should have a vid out, then just need a camera that is able to record from an external source.

yeah, my camera doesn't allow me to do that... I don't think. I could almost do it with my Laptop, except the video card is fried in it, so video's do me no good being as they crash it.


I wonder, do they make a SD Memory card recorder? Something you can plug into, then record straight onto a memory card?

i'd need a portable one though. Really don't wanna run a invertor, camera, and air ride all off a normal battery. (well, little stronger than stock, but none the less)

A friend of my dad drives a Jaguar XKR, and he custom made a set up so that he removed both side view mirrors and hooked up cameras to them and he has little screens on his dash that show them. But he got rid of it, now he drives a Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Well, so far in the day time, you can faintly see the sparks with the sun coming at the camera. Haven't gotten to lay it out at night yet.

works great as a mirror.

You can actually see in your blind spot a little better with it. Now I am not saying, go out and get one, and take your rear view mirror out! But it does help.

I pretty much just bought it for dragging. You can never see your sparks but faintly in the mirrors, so now I should be able to see some good ones. And if it takes a good picture at night with sparks everywhere, than I'll have some up sooner or later.

you should be able to see alot of sparks out your mirror. just lay it harder and the sparks fly farter

lol. True, but I also have headrest in my back window. So the bottom of my mirror view is rendered useless. (like me )


I gave it a test tonight. And it shows the nice "lines of fire" with the shower of sparks. So looks like tomorrow, I am going to be moving my forward facing camera mount to the console. This way my video camera faces the TV and I don't have to try and hold a camera, drag, and hit switches at the same time. So when I get a video up, it'll probably be really shakey footage, but footage none the less.
