Hi,

I've installed the passenger side camera and the one screen -- I'll post pictures soon. The most surprising thing is when driving at night is the screen is reflected in the windshield -- you must use a shroud to prevent having a large blind spot...

The ~110 degree view is great! This lets me see the (right) side of my car, and I still seeing the back bumpers of cars that are ahead of me!

Oh, and the aero is noticeably better -- I am going to have to get used to the additional speed as I coast up to stops. In order to get better FE when you have improved aerodynamic drag, you have to adjust your driving.
