So I purchased the Cobra 895D dual-cam kit from my job and it has been great so far. The added rear camera, albeit useless at night, during the day is great. However, at the present time I'm having to remove the camera from its holder every night because, well, I don't live in the greatest area in town. Not the worst by a long shot, but I don't trust it completely.
That being said, I purchased on Amazon a low-profile mount (because the one it came with was gargantuan) and it has helped. Now my issue is that the camera has this really bright, metallic-looking, area around the lens that stands out like a sore thumb. I've attached a photo of it so you guys can see.
I considered possibly masking off all the essentials and spraying it black with some plasti-dip or using a marker of some sort to paint the area black. However, I'm not sure if this area NEEDS to be this color in order to, oh, I don't know, reflect light onto the lens for better night images? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!
