[QUOTE="BIRDMAN, post: 353003, member: 18"] I am "the customer" Steve is referring to. I called him this afternoon and he promptly called me back. We spoke for a few minutes and I expressed my disappointment that modification would be needed for the new oval to fit. We talked about machining and additional bezel ring or making the oval thicker and milling out the back to clear the plastic mounting tabs. That discussion is still up in the air but we decided using a Dremel tool to cut away the mounting tabs would probably be the easiest and ultimately the most cost effective way to make the Billet Badges Ford oval fit with the backup camera assembly. I found the bezel and it's $28 if you should ever wish to return to stock. 1. I removed (broke off) the factory Ford oval. 2. Removed the 2 7mm bolts holding the camera bezel on. 3. Unclipped the camera harness. 4. Removed the camera from the bezel which is held on by 3 (T20?) Torx bolts. From there I just gently clamped the bezel down to a work bench and cut away the tabs. Reinstalled the camera to the bezel, screwed the bezel back on to the tailgate and there we go: [ATTACH]16102.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]16103.vB[/ATTACH] [IMG]http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/RenderIllustration.ashx?id=224442523&f=3&n=CL3Z19G490D[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
