    rear view camera, wide or normal?

    should i go with a wide angle rear view camera? 100-130 degrees. 110 bucks

    or should i go with a normal rear view camera? 30-40 degrees? 60 bucks

    the wide one makes it look like a bubble... etc... like the lexus rx300...

    wut u ppl think?

    Just stick with the regular as long as you see as much as you normally would.

    BTW - How the fuck can you afford this? I've wanted to do this since before I could drive, but damn costs are too damn high.

    well what are you using it for? will it replace your rear view mirror or is it for backing up or just for the fun of having one? if its gonna replace your mirror i would go with wide angle because i think being able to see as much as possble is more important than having a clear picture.

    Whoa! Where? Shit, all the ones I found were way more than that. You don't want wideangle if its going to distort the angles. It's not going to be very safe at all and will make it harder to see on the sides.
