Personally, I would not be looking forward to running those wires through the lift gate and then through the rubber covered wire looms and then down into the rear floor pan.

I think I can make a license plate camera install clean enough for my liking to avoid all that extra hassle of coming in from the lift gate.

To each their own.

This is the camera in my plan:

180° View Angle 100 Waterproof Car Reverse Rear Backup Camera HD Night Vision | eBay

That camera looks really nice and I like that in can be adjusted in-place. Do you know if it also shows the parking guidelines (red, green and yellow overlay lines) or does it show only the raw video? The camera description doesn't indicate so but probably just omitted?
