It's not as bad as it looks, everything is in its place and there's a place for everything.
Not very good pics.

Yes i was very happy with, i also made a spacer to put the brake light on a angle so the camera points down more.

I also wired in a relay triggered of the reverse lights and lowering the camera, reverse camera wire on stereo and reverse sensors. I thought it might be to much for it all ti be powered off the reverse lights.
