    Did our boys just greenscreen themselves into their own garage office? I don't know about others, but I wouldn't mind seeing a messy, half-finished garage or, if that's busy, a normal internal office. I find the offset in lighting between the background and the subjects more of a negative than a bland background.

    Don't read the 1 stars or the 5 stars, trust the 2-3 star reviews. 1 Star reviews are usually people who got a broken product or just didn't know what the fuck they were doing and are just angry. 2 and 3 star reviews usually have relevant information about the product. No company is going to pay for fake 2 and 3 star reviews, and people who are angry and won't be giving an accurate review always give 1 stars. So you get the best information about what the product really is and how it really works from the 2 and 3 star reviews.

    And one of the other downsides is if you’re in a very hilly area without a lot of cell towers you may run into broken signals. Also, sometimes the static just starts to overwhelm the radio and you can’t even hear your music anymore. But FM transmitters are a good, faster, cheaper alternative to replacement head units. Just plug it in and choose a silent station with good signal, pair Bluetooth and you’re good to go. With the head unit stuff you can end up buying a really bad head unit, or overloading the amp and have to replace your speakers as well

    You can put them on the pinch weld, but on a lowered vehicle, say you're going forward and then turn right to get closer to line up with the curb, your bumper would hit the curb before the feelers would touch anything. By placing it on the bumper you have a little more warning while moving the front around

    LOL the "turbo whistle" the sound does sound much like a turbo from old racing video games haha Yeh know the sound well. When i was in high school i made a small device of sorts to put inline with the power for the radio some capacitors resisters etc to filter the power for all my friends. I was not even trained in any sort of electronics at that point never read books on building circuits. I understood how capacitors worked etc. and worked out how to build some simple circuits like that. Those ferrite ch0okes don't work most of the time having and active filter on your power does way better in fact you can completely remove any interference on the line from the alternator electric fans headlights etc Anything that is electro mechanical cause it as as well so blinker switches the ones you can hear click or when you press your break pedal your wipers etc.

    Got a custom auto sound stereo system for my 75 el camino and 100% don’t regret it, it looks original when off but has a digital display when on and has Bluetooth along with ports for a subwoofer and amplifier. Can definitely say I’d you’re looking for a vintage style modern radio you’re going to be spending at least 200 bucks for a good working unit.

    It also really depends on the quality of the Bluetooth receiver. A really cheap one is going to sound like crap but on a decent one it'll sound a lot better. I had a quite nice AM/FM transmitter that got stolen (They ruined my glovebox lock too... but left a free screwdriver!) and it definitely sounded better than the casette aux. My sister got a bargain bin transmitter and it sounds like trash.

    Hey guys, my classic has the interior completely stripped as it was modified for hill climb racing. I now daily drive it and badly needed some tunes. So instead of cutting a hole in the dash for a head unit and trying to wire and retrofit speakers, I just put in a bluetooth soundbar. Find one that runs on DC, cut off the plug and use a voltage converter if it's not 12v. Mines 18v so just got a little step up converter off ebay. With an inline fuse, wire it up to your 12v system and you are good to go! Whole thing took me maybe 30 mins to install and cost £50. I got a 120w sound bar so it is plenty loud enough :) Cheap and effective way of getting tunes in the car with minimal effort.

I've had several in my car because when the sun is just right it glares below the visor and sunglasses are not enough to block it, I need that second layer of plastic screen. The ones I've used had plastic clips and seemed to be designed to attach to the top of the visor instead of the bottom, which is daft, anyway they just flip down on a hinge. Had 4 over the years, broken 2 of them, one arrived broken , still have one passenger side and I still use it when the sun is just wrong./
