Haha. Ya. I'll mount the FPR on the dash! Ha. ;^) No. Good question. Would I install it on someone else's van? No. It might be fine for some time but who knows how long. I think the camera brings out details one wouldn't normally notice but I see your points. Vancafe has them for $118 or so. Seems BD price is better. My parts guy wants $156 or so. Neil.
