    100% worth having a shell with as many windows as possible, never felt like I was lacking visibility - just wanted a back up camera regardless.

    A bit of a follow up regarding the Wolfbox mirror mount situation I replied with a few weeks ago. I couldn't stand the terrible adjustability that you get when using the included ball mount - issue with it is the angle of the ball is too far downward so you can't angle the mirror up past a certain point. I went to a Pick 'n pull and found a mirror from a 2005 Dodge Stratus that has a straight angled ball instead of one pointing downward like the Wolfbox had. 9/10 cars that you'll find will have a Gentex mount so they'll pretty much all work, but it's the angle of the ball that you need to be concerned with. I cut the arm and mirror off of the ball, got a mirror dashcam ball & socket adapter set on Amazon for $13 and put on the appropriate size socket for the new mount. Works great. Hopefully this helps anybody else thinking of doing the same.

    Did not want to pay for the SQR mount so I made my own. Here is the write up:
