Hi all,
I obtained a Ford emblem with embedded backup camera to use on my 2012 XL trim. Turns out the camera part protrudes quite a bit. I'd have to cut a sizeable hole (probably 1" by 1" or slightly bigger) to make room for the camera to fit so the emblem will sit flush on the tailgate, replacing the OEM emblem. I'm not willing to hack into the tailgate skin for a number of reasons. Instead I'm seriously considering the use of some kind of spacer cut to the shape of the emblem with a notch cut into it for the camera. That would serve as the "base" and then bolt everything to the tailgate to look OEM.
Any suggestions on material and source?
