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.
