To me, it looks much better than something hanging down and it's not as noticeable for someone to steal.
oh i totally agree with u it looks killer, but if they wanted an excuse to mess with u they have it. an by the way why are u running front tags in kansas ?

No front tags required in KS. They don't even issue them.

I have purchased a boyo had plate camera. The new ones are much lower profile than the previous ones. I will post a picture once I install.

This always happens to Corvette. Once they come out as a new platform they never change a thing that isn't performance related so in eight years they are now selling an antique.

Why not cut a wedge, drill and remount at a better angle. You can use a variety of materials.

Late to the dance but I thought I would shre where I mounted my backup camera. Wanted it to be as inconspicuous as possible. Mounted in between exhaust.

Please share make and model? I'm getting ready to do a HU install with cameras. If I put that dot on my plate, it will look like it belongs there.

This one has back up lights, because the stock ones are not very good.

You can fix that with led replacement bulbs. Mine are crazy bright.
