Front license plate camera glass getting worn from road stuff - any replacement or protection options?

I used a vinyl plotter to cut out some 3m Pro PPF and applied them to the camera lenses. Optically clear and so far no chipping.

I applied them to all exposed camera lenses including the fender ones.

I’d pay you for a set of these. $25 including shipping to Arizona?

If you sell him two sets I’d pay too and you can ship to the same address. We live very close to one another.

Seriously though, I’d imagine this is exactly up your alley @AO-Pete

I have some clear ppf in the garage J. Maybe I’ll just wrap the camera and cut around it with a scalpel. What do you think?

You are pretty good with a scalpel from what I hear!

 

[hemiarch]

Rumors only.
Seriously though. I’ll do one of mine this week and if doesn’t cause any issues I can do all of our cameras while you mess with the auxbeam. Deal?
Can always be peeled off if we don’t like it.

Those are the hands of a surgeon. My expectations for the margins on those cuts is one step below what a Da Vinci would. be capable of.

Now the bar is set impossibly high. I’ll be sure to call you if I need to core it out and scrape the camera nerve ending out.

Do you dare question why we would ghetto rig some shit off Amazon when we could replace the assembly properly for $330?

That’s a different camera. Front bumper camera is only $200, y’all cheap skates!

At $200 I’m going to proceed with the ppf experiment mostly because it sounds fun, but I won’t be heartbroken if it doesn’t work.

Update.. so my lens covers arrived today. I can confirm they fit - sort of, needed about 10 seconds of modification. I cut the top lip flat so it would sit more flush and not have an overhang on the bottom. There is still a tiny bit as you'll see in the pics but the adhesive is grabbing on the bottom and sealing it.

Here's the cut i made.

Installed.
