screens in side mirrors
*I'm not doing this to my Z*
How can I put small screens in side rear view mirrors? Do i have to buy them premade that way?

I didn't want to say what for cause i can't stand all the haters on the site. I'm building a custom show bike and i'd like to throw some screens in my mirrors. I'm not sure if it'll work cause the mirrors i'm using are kinda small but i'd like to see if its possible.

you just need to separate the screen from its backing.. and make sure the mirror is deep enough to hold electronics in the back.. or you might have to do some soildering

so if the mirror is 1.5" or 2" then you can do that.. but remember the back of the mirror needs room for the electronics..
if the mirror is 2 and the screen is 1.5.. then you would get a piece of ABS Plastic 2" and then fit the screen in the plastic
