backup camera, new option...

Just had a look at my wife's Acura TL-S, which has a backup cam. It's angled down (never noticed), too, so I guess that's not a worry and all the above comments about that angle make good sense. Hopefully, the eBay cam extends far enough down to clear the bodywork around the Z's license plate. The original lights are quite deeply recessed, so it looks like a close call.

Thanks to 06blueZ for the heads up on finding this item. Can't wait to get mine, and the seller notified me that it was already shipped.

Looking at the dimensions of the camera housing, as compared to the stock light housing, it looks like the camera lens will barely hang down far enough, because the lights are so deeply recessed into the body. I can only wait until mine arrives, and then I'll post some pics. In any case, I don't think this cam is going to be very noticeable, and will certainly be much less obvious than the kind which mount to the license plate frame.

I just ordered one yesterday as well. They did actually email me right away asking the make/model of my car and said they weren't sure if it was going to fit or not. With the dimension that 06blueZ mentioned, it should be a perfect fit! Either way, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than most backup camera solutions (official Pioneer is $220 or with parking assist for $400). I am just a little worried about the recessed light, but we will see when I get the shipment. Also, do you think this would have any impact on light output of the license plate lights since the camera is hanging down like that on one side?
