Default Bumper Cam?

This has been something I have been thinking about for a while, and I just figured I would throw it out there. How doable would a front mounted bumper cam be? How good a camera would be required for good quality? I'm guessing in the novelty factor wouldn't justify the price, but I'm not really sure.

I would imagine it would be just like having a rear view camera. The only thing you would need to worrying about is the lens cracking due to rocks or other debris.

I wanted one when I was first installing my navigation and sound system. I wanted one low - like below the air dam - faced forward. You could put a piece of clear plexiglass in front of the lens to block rocks and other road hazards. I changed my mind and gave it up figuring a couple more wires in the dash would cause it to explode.

I would like to do both front and back. What kind of cameras would be best? And would i have to get any special splitters or anything like that to have the front cam on the top screen in the cube and the rear cam on my double din?
