First off: This is my first post, woo hoo! I've had my 2012 2SS/RS for a year now and couldn't be happier with it! While driving around the first couple of weeks I was afraid of smashing the ground effects against a curb, so I decided it would be a fun project to install a forward facing parking camera.... annnd a year later I finally got around to completing that project haha!
It would have been more useful earlier since I'm much more used to the dimensions of the car now, but it still serves as peace of mind when trying to park close to a curb. Also, I did this for under $100, compared to the curb alert which is over $150.
Here are some pics of what I came up with. I bought a visor from the junkyard, replaced the mirror with a cheap LCD, wired it to a camera I attached to the lower grille, and added a switch which I routed beneath the steering column. I still need to buy some material to wrap up the visor, and secure the switch better. I'll add more details and pics this weekend.
