While I was at it I decided to install a backup camera... I had an extra backup camera that I picked up while trying to figure out what I wanted to do for the one on the crown victoria. I ended up going with a flush mount camera in the location of the trunk key cylinder. So this one was unused. Nothing ruins the rear end of a car more than a shotty and cheap rear camera install. I wanted it to be OEM looking. Ideally not even noticeable like the one on the Vic, but thats impossible with a white car. I am pleased with how this came out.Drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the trunk<img src="https://i.imgur.com/3o6NCYM.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />5/16 hole for the camera itself in the license plate trim panel. Made sure to measure and mark it to get it perfectly center.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/0UV4jl1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/y5o9bCv.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Camera wiring ran along the trunk harness<img src="https://i.imgur.com/FOLY205.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/cjL4Ss4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I tapped the reverse wire in the harness right by where the trunk harness meets everything else in the trunkFinal result<img src="https://i.imgur.com/2rMCPHm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/kAOEMev.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Hardly noticable in the daylight. Just the way it should be<img src="https://i.imgur.com/KtWoSDD.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/V7RArag.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Perfect angle, just need to remove the grid lines... In my experience those never line up properly....<img src="https://i.imgur.com/XTNNlBk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1P1mcga.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dqJlrAL.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/DQTsOie.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />My sister got into a bit of an accident with a deer a few weeks ago and totaled her car. I had just installed a subwoofer/amp setup for her the week before. She gave me the green light to snag it all out of her car and keep it. So I tossed it in the Mustang.This is definitely a temporary setup. I want to build a floor for the trunk and set the subwoofer into the spare tire well, aswell as put the amp off to the side where the security system module mount is and I even want to leave a small cubby for some airlift components in the future in the spare tire well...But Spring is here and I currently don't have the time to do that, so this is a quick and easy solution.I made sure to take my time running all the wires to the trunk, as they will be reused. No need to do it twice. But everything in the trunk I just kind of zip tied and didn't bother spending too much time making look pretty.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/0Ks936f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LFWuhoZ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/jFn9gfs.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The wood is also temporary. I am going to pick up some MDF to cut and set into the spare tire well so I can throw the carpet back in without it falling into the well.</blockquote>
