Your back windshield isn't? Sure looks like it, but that's even better

No wait...I think we have a regional difference .
I call the window with the wipers the "windshield" and I call the window on the back of the car "the back window". So you call my back window your windshield?

Are you talking about driving in general or just backing up right?

First and foremost backing out of a single lane wide driveway or backing up in general and while driving at night. The tint in combo with the ducktail make it real hard to see out the back at night with no one behind you in the rear view mirror. I use the side mirrors more often then not and with the side windows down it is easier to see using those mirrors..... would I change a thing?.....never! and during the day I have no issues regardless if it is overcast or clear.

I hear you...I have definitely noticed a difference switching to the GT500 spoiler versus the tock GT spoiler. Whenever I finally decide on a location for my back-up camera it is going to be alot easier..

Speaking of back up camera....cant you mount it in the keyhole for the trunk (replace the trunk lock mech with a camera) I think TacoBill has done that? I think that is a great spot!

Not with the particular camera I have, it is a little larger and not circular like the one TacoBill used. I have been thinking of mounting it under my spoiler or where the license plate light is located. I would have to move or install an additional light for the plate though, which would be a big deal.

When I had my GT spoiler I installed it under the spoiler with double sided tape and it worked out great. I have been leaning toward installing it where the license plate light is. Here is a pic of it before I installed it on my previous spoiler (3.4in.x1.2in.x1.7in.).
