Not a problem, I will snap some pics when I get home, but as I said, not a whole lot see, just 4 bolts heads on the spare mount plate...and one extra hole I drilled cause I didn't measure perfect No worries, no one will ever see it, except via this photo, maybe I will put a bolt through it so it looks like it is serving a purpose....
Remember, try moving yours higher, I suggest taking the rear cladding off so you don't put the bottom bolts on the curve of the door.
You can't see anything out the rear window anyway, that is why I have a digital rear view mirror, and the camera is mounted on the spoiler, so the tire is in the shot, but not enough to block anything important. My second back up camera needs to be relocated though, it was mounted over the license plate, gotta move that down now. Oh well, I never use it anyway.

Marlin,

I can't see your pix while at work. I'll try to have a look tonight. Sounds like you did a great job though. I might have to fab up some spacers and go through the second layer of metal (just to ease my mind if someone ever decides to slam the door closed).

"i got one up on you.. check my other thread for details.."

Eric - looks like you went 16 up on us.

"I hate encouraging that guy tho..."

Nice - Happy Monday to you too.
