Default Thought I was Done!!!

Here's living proof that you're never done modding these cars. I was pretty much satisfied with my car last fall and considered the modding over.....Then Dan at DD Mods posted a great price on a double din bezel and I always loved the way those units looked so I bought it and a Kenwood DNX5120 and all the assorted goodies for it, ie: XM, Bluetooth, everything except the back-up cam as I didn't want to drill any holes into my car.........


Well then after doing some looking around the net I found a back-up cam built into a license frame and now I've got just about everything for a really nice addition to my car. Thanks Dan for all the help and a really nice product!

Hey HMannini, where'd you get that back up camera? I've got a coworker with a Fairlady Z who wants to do something like that, and, much like you, doesn't care for the idea of drilling holes in his car.

Man, that looks like a real nice and clean install.

Modding is a disease we all have and as long as you stay on this forum, you will never be free!

I believe I bought it on Amazon....do a Google search for Boyo License Frame Cam and you should find it. It's available in either Black or Chrome.....

Nice, I thought I was done also. Then, sale on painted engine parts just happened to show up in my email. Oh well, its only money and I can't take it with me when I go. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
