    I had a few more runins with aggressive drivers and I'm pretty convinced that I need a dual-cam setup in the car. Has anyone mounted one? What kind of camera was used?

    I do.. It's a GT680W in the rear and a 3H2F at front. Had them on for 2 years already.

    How did you wire power to the camera and where did you mount it?

    both came with a long-enough cord which i routed from the center console to the cameras. the one at the rear had the shortest distance to travel. the one for the front had to go around the pillars and then to the center of the windshield just in front of the rear view mirror.

    Where did you mount the rear one? At the top of the hatch or peering though the under-spoiler window?
