Anyone with a spoiler+nav?

I was wondering for those who are spoiler-less if they are afraid of someone that "loves" your car too much to scratch the backup cam len or what not? and if you had a spoiler, how does the cam look like?
anyone have close up pics? maybe with black obsidian

The camera is in the exact same spot regardless of spoiler or chrome lip

Exactly the camera is embedded within the chrome spoiler on cars without and embedded within the optional spoiler with. They are in the same location, shielded by each respective spoiler.

I am more worried that many of the after market wings that will be released with not have a camera hole option. which means modding will need to be done on your own.

My guess is they may either produce a wing with no hole, or one that has a stylish removable plug, maybe even in the same body color, and likely more expensive.

very doubtful since most aftermarket tuners do not paint their items. Most dont even do quality pre paint work with primer. After market tuners design their parts for racing not for bling which means most will not have a camera option or any plug. When i say most I mean Japanese Power house tuners Their items are designed for function before form which means a rear camera is not needed on a race car. You may find cheap ebay items or knock off items sold in the US that have the camera option but Most from japan will not.

As my car is described in the signature - I have the setup you are wondering the camera is just a little square under the spoiler. Good thing is you would have to either feel the spoiler or look at its underbelly to see it - so its not too vulnerable to attack. Typically someone with knowledge of the car and technology may know that a camera is there and i hoep to God that people with the knowledge are mature enough to not vandalize. I'll feel like shooting the ***** that attacks my car for no reasosn. I am **** and OCD about scratches in general let alone intentional ones. Part of the reason I am careful in not making enemies is to not leve my $hit vulnerable to attack. WWJD baby.

I live in a neighbourhood with a handful of seemingly punk teenagers who may be harmless but just because they lurk here and there I garage my car nearly every night or at least leave the driveway lit. Im also a chronic defensive parker. Im the guy that makes a couple rounds in the parking lot to park in the spot that leaves the most room for swinging doors to clear my vehicle. I love those edge/corner spots in a lot that have the space for 1.5 cars. Those rule lol.
