    NEW wicked rear camera mod!!

    Anyone that's ever seen or heard the audio system in my car knows I take customization and attention to detail seriously. My latest modification was intended to add to the car and take nothing on the flipside. My new back-up camera replaces the trunk lock cylinder and was mounted using nothing more than some threaded PVC and some steel nuts used for plumbing. A trunk release cable from a Civic will replace the inside-the-trunk emergency release handle and route to under the back seat in the event that my trunk solenoid ever fails.

    I had the camera floating around in my tool box for 2 years. It had two threaded rings to install it that were missing. I had to buy a $30 adaptor for the Eclipse headunit. I think that camera is about $125.00 but you'll need a video cable too.

    Wow, that's some beautiful work, looks like it should have been a option from ford! For those outside serviceable range, how 'bout a formal write up with pics? Oh and where did you mount the monitor and run the cables?

    The monitor is my 2DIN Eclipse DVD player. The cables were ran down the passenger side trunk arm to resemble the driver side harness.
