Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Where should I mount my rearview cam?

Well, I was going to wait to surprise everyone with my rearview cam as my 2nd video option but Im clueless as where I should mount it. According to the UPS tracker I should have it on Friday, so Im hoping to get it installed over the weekend. I was thinking about replacing the trunk lock assembly with the rearview cam since it already has the keyhole but Im not sure if it would fit or if I would get such a clear view. Anyone has any ideas on where to mount?

For size reference

lol yu gonna film the suckers when you rape em?hahahaha

post some up if you do...i wanna laugh my ass off

Dude thats bad ass!!

if you've clear tail lights, maybe stick it in there somewhere???

Talking about clips. One of the reasons why I wanted to do this was because I saw several clips from Satoshi but he has his cam too low for my liking.

However, when I got into my boyz H2 last week his Hummer came with the rear view cam as an option and it was AWESOME, not to mention that everyone looks at that H2 cause its a beast. His cam was mounted on the roof but our Celi is too short and I think if I mount mine on the roof some asshole is just going to rip it right off.

I could also see me getting tired of it, thats why I wouldnt recommend it as the only video source but as an option.

Nah, I got the Red TYC's

i say toss it in the front...record your races...record shit that you see in front of u..that might be interesting..kinda like a cop car.

maybe by the key hole and drill a hole that is big enough to fit it...

you know skoof, i have a spy cam and i thought about that too...

remove the lock assembly and install the cam there

The front would be cool to record races or if youre chasing someone but I think the rear would be a lot more useful because I only chase people on the weekends.

Actually, I could imagine how AWESOME it would be to put RED and WHITE strobes on my Celi and have the cam recording it for you guys. This reminds me when my boyz installed a loud speaker on my Celi and went around pulling people over and telling pedestrians to get out of my way. It was funny as hell, I wish I would've had the cam then.

LOL! My vote is in the trunk lock, I think it'll look good there. It's high off the ground so you would get a pretty nice view of your rear.

yah put it in the key lock area..

or better yet put another hole of same size symmetrically on the other side of the handle

under the dash on the passenger side

ok but for real romoving the lock sounds best

only problem is if someone tries to open the trunk while putting in the key

unless you have keyless entry

I like Ericks idea of putting it on the oposite side of the lock so it is symetrical plus you still have use of the trunk lock

but who uses the trunk keyhole? I just use my remote

you mean like a cop car pulling behind you and watch him get out of his popo car hahaha

yeah no one uses the keyhole in my opinion. I'd say there or the oppitsite side. post pics when you finish i wanna see... =D

yea i use the remote

shit now that i realize it, i never used any keyholes lol

ditto My key only goes in the ignition. remote entry > using a key

yeah i was gonna say the keyhole for the trunk garnish...

can those things brighten up ur sight on the monitor at all? im kinda blind going reverse and on someones lawn sometimes

im following the crowd

key hole

lol

I guess my under the passenger side joke wasnt that funny

^^haha

I agree.

You can mout it on the inside... screw it into the ceilling... and aim it out the back window.

and if you want to do it smart..

somehow put it on a "thingy" i dont know how to explain it to you... that would allow you to turn the cam so you can look out the front window too...

that is how i would do it


that is best way i can explain it to u

that was a joke?
if it makes you feel n e better i considered laughing

Where did you get it??????
