I have been using my suction cup mount to either the rear window or windsheild. Works fine, but I want a more interesting point of view and I want it permanently mounted. The long term plan was to install a bullet cam facing forward and one facing rearward, both feeding into solid state digital recorders with infinite looping and g-force graphics.
Well... that is long term. I was too busy this last month to do much development on the solid state recorder so it slipped schedule some more. I waited until I got the car to figure out how to install bullet cameras.
The rear I still need to tackle and I want to think some more about it. I would not be willing to touch the body of the car, but I could drill and opening in the black metal around the license plate, or perhaps install a flat (very small) camera flush to the surface. Not sure yet.
Today I installed a bullet camera to the front. And even then it is a stopgap measure. Eventually I am going to have machined a custom mount that uses the front towhook mounting screw. For now, I used one of my clamps on the metal that supports the tow hook (very stable) and positioned the bullet camera just peeking through the front grill.
Pic is of left side of crash structure. Wire is from the cam and you see the knob of the clamp mount.
