Default Backup Cam for the XJ

Looking to see what kind of interest is out there for a bezel designed to give a factory fit and finish backup camera to the humble XJ. This is for pre-97's, currently installed on my 91. No exposed wiring, no crap license plate top mount that covers the state name (a legal issue in some states if I recall). Wanted to go with a solid factory look. Let me know what y'all think.

*Please ignore the dead inspection and WAY expired tags. I have not been driving the XJ during this time. It's been awaiting some full repairs and upgrades.

**Please tolerate the crap editing for the plates. I normally try to do this on my desktop using a pro software. Had to deal with my phone for these.

ABS. Worth the trickier fine tuning and settings to get the superior durability. I've heard PLA breaks down in the elements.

It does, and the black PLA will warp in direct sunlight much worse than the ABS.
