Default Video camera Rear view mirror/ Intake

Here is something I made and put a lot of time into. This is a stock Mercedes Benz mirror with an integrated 2 inch lcd monitor. The monitor is connected to the camera in the license plate through blue tooth. You may ask yourself why would someone do this and the answer is I was tired of the wing going up and never being able to see anything. I went through 2 mirrors, three cameras and monitors, and 1 windshield. Lol. Do not just pull the mirror off I guess they twist. I don't know what I was thinking. I have my camera hooked up to the driving lights in the rear so when ever I turn the lights on the camera comes on. The monitor is hooked up the homelink and turned on through a button. The pictures aren't great but I did my best hopefully you guys enjoy. I am thinking about putting it on ebay. Just wanted to know what you guys thought. Also are pictures of the intake system I have designed. I have one for the LEFT side of the engine and one for the RIGHT side of the engine. I too am going to see these on ebay as well. I am also working on a set up that allows both systems to be run together with an adjoining Y pipe. I did a quick photo shop.

do you notice a heat difference with the intake. today i changed my air filters and the intake was steaming hot. can you touch the intake tube after driving?

They did get hot not so hot that i couldn't touch them. I think the box gets so hot because of its placement right over the engine. I had the last intake painted with 5,000 degree paint It helped a lot. also removing the pieces behind the grille to let more air in help as well.

I think your also picking up a lot of heat from the manifold more so than the radiator, magnesium is good a heat conductor, so if you want to make a denser air charge make a new intake manifold out of plastic like ABS.
