This mod is great. Took me longer than most cuz I was installing the Camaro OEM camera. I don't trust myself to remove the bumper. If you have a 2012 with the blank spit for the cam, you CAN install it without removing the bumper, it takes time tho.
1. Remove the license plate
2. Unclip the two license plate lights
3. Pop out blank
4. Feed the camera through the central hole, harness first. Position the camera how it will be.
5. The horse shoe bracket can bend by squeezing the flanges (where the screws go) together. Push the camera straight up and then insert the bracket. The cracker flanges go in front of the camera flange.
6. By far the trickiest part is screwing the camera and flange together. There is little room around and behind the setup. I have big hands and they are cut up but I was patient and got it done.
7. When you have the nut screw started, find a 7mm box wrench to tighten. You will only get a 1/4 turn each time but like I said, be patient and it will all come together.

Once done the rest of the wiring was a breeze. Thanks Ofer for a great setup!
