the one you want is amazing and its just double sided tape. put it under the hatch garnish. The viewing angle is huge.

have fun with the official pio.. its great wide angle but as far as hiding it kinda sucks. i like my boyo alot better; it fits a lot more inconspicuous.

yeah it looks like white... did all the chrome chip off? and does it interfere with the license plate lights? (ie does it create a weird shadow)

it does but its not that bad.. i have white flank LEDs up there so its plenty bright. the chrome didnt chip off, i sanded it down then i primered and painted.. i plan to redo it when i have time and then do a couple layers of clear coat.. i also put a piece of clear tape over the camera since its starting to rain and it wont get foggy.. so far its held up purty well avoiding foggage but it hasnt rained too hard here just yet.

i have the same pioneer camera. i originally wanted to have it in the center under the garnish and relocate the trunk switch to where i have the camera now, but i could not find a small weatherproof momentary switch. i didn't drill a hole in the trunk to mount it, i just cleaned the surface and used the double stick tape and the wire is routed with the trunk switch harness. the camera can still swivel, it's been on for about half a year.
