if you're going to get the camera down the road, it seems like you would want to go ahead and get the one that's cutout for it.

Yeah but looks like aftermarket cameras have different mounting points than OEM camera. Thats why maybe better get applique without cutout and than cut/drill out holes for aftermarket one. I may be wrong but thats what i think ?

Does anyone have any pics of mounting bracket of those back up cameras that goes on applique. I tried search for some and most of them dont have pics of bracket, just camera

I have a wireless camera that works w/ my aftermarket Garmin GPS. I have it mounted on the bumper just above the receiver hitch. I'll take some pics at lunch.

Late on this, but unless you plan on getting the OEM camera, get the one without the cutout. My aftermarket one mounts with screws to the bottom of the applique
