    yea thats what they did all over, is mark back up then discount.. big mistake to buy back then

    now they are reduced more, closer to sale prices at other stores

    yea near me the dvds were reduced 80%.. car electronics were 80% video games 50% computer stuff was like 40%

    i actually saw someone buy an extended warranty on their TV when i was there yesterday for like $300.. they didnt even ask if it would be covered after they completely shut down

    The extended warranty is covered by a 3rd party. Actually the same one that covers HHGregg products.

    I found that out after I got into an argument with Circuit City back in January when I bought a Blu-Ray player. I told them I bought my 52" LCD from HHGregg and the guy got offended like I punched his mother. So I had to sit there and tell him why I bought from HHGregg and not CC. Ridiculous.

    No wonder they are closing, they SUCK!

    I think I have the same camera. I got mine at CC about 2 years ago for about 20 times what you paid.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    sweet yep thats the one.. how was the install?, i have a 1" round one back there now that went kaput on me within like 2 months

    looks like you cut the filler panel in half? did you end up gluing it in place after that? where did you mount the bracket? I was thinking about making a metal plate to go top to bottom in the recess and then bolting the camera itself to that plate, instead of using that bracket

    I used a lot of gray RTV. It’s strong and watertight. The bracket fits perfectly over the camera. I used Gray RTV on it as well.

    P.S. Don’t use Clear RTV it’s not as strong.

    got mine installed.. not quite as nice looking as yours is kodiak, mine is set in a little farther, i wanted to get as close to the vx bumper as possible.. the end result is that in these photos, i can see about half of the spare tire, the red funnel and all of the spare tire carrier on the ground in these photos
