Cool. I didn't mean to get you butt hurt. That's how I bought the car, and it had a UK vin so I figured it was a type r.

I guess I should edit the title. One sec. Wait... Is it not possible to change the title on ca.com? Eff me.

And I was never much of a speeder anyways. My first ticket and I was done with that.

Sooo... Some cables came in today.

The best part was all the stickers they sent me!

Don't hate on my stickers. For each one I put on the outside of my car, I should have an increase of 1db per sticker. Spent a couple hours doing the math last night.

Slowly starting the whole process haha. I started wiring up the backup camera but I found out that's a ***** to do. I want to wire it up to stay on while I'm driving, but the only way I think I can do that is to wire it up to my battery and using a switch rather than my tail light. If anyone has any suggestions on how to hook it up to stay on 100% of the time than that would be nice.

Should be real nice. I have an Eclipse hatchback also and had fun with it.

Nice.

So I finished wiring up the backup camera today and what a pain in the *** that was. Didn't help much that the box came with no instructions, so I had to get my dad to help me wire it up the way I wanted it. Nonetheless, it works perfect. Wired it up to the starting battery with a switch to keep it on while I'm driving instead of hooking it up to the tail lights.

Also got a mock up cardboard wall to get an idea of what the outer baffle will look like. Still trying to figure out the easiest way to do this in the back of my head.

You could have wired that backup camera to an ignition switched source so that it turns on when you start you car. The switch works too of course
