Default Pics of my $600 rear view mirror

I decided to replace my rear view mirror with my Alpine DVD 6.5" screen. I can view whats behind me with my back up cam, or switch it over to play some DVDs. I've replaced the glovebox to stock as well as the center stack. Whadda think?

It was actually much easier than custom fitting it into the dash. I just bought a $11 replacement mirror from Wal-Mart and "modified" it to use only the windshield mount part of it. I bolted the DVD screen mount to that and slipped it right onto the windshield. I snaked the wiring up the A-Pillar and hooked everything up under the passenger seat.
