Damn, nice setup. Did you install it all yourself, or professionally done?

You know, I believe here in Cali you can have the rear blocked off as long as both side mirrors are in place.

I'm gonna check on that. Thought it only applied to trucks with campers or towing trailers and commercial vehicles, like delivery vans and such.

I looked it up , and under California Vehicle Code 26708, 8()3, of 2009, it says that it's ok if you have both side view mirrors and can see behind the vehicle to 200 feet. Read under "This section does not apply to any of the following". Check it out.
