    Just a quick update with another photo since I've changed the configuration slightly and to brag about another member's related mod that you MUST do. ImMrYo has a bracket in this thread that relocates your mirror up to the top of the windshield which gives you MUCH better outward visibility. It's really amazing how much of your view the factory location of the rear view mirror blocks and you will instantly notice if after you do this mod. It's inexpensive and shows up very quickly and installs in less than 10 minutes and half of that is just reading the included instructions.

    Anyway, here's a photo and you can click the link above for the thread that talks about the mirror relocation bracket more.

    Great idea, Ostrichsak.

    Does anyone have a picture from a driver's perspective?

    Not sure what this has to do with a cheap radar detector mount. You sure you have no affiliation with the product in question? Seems like an awfully loaded post for someone who just joined & your first post here.
