Who here has this dash cam and how well does the front camera "hide" behind the rearview mirror?

That's the camera I have, and it hides pretty well, I can't see it at all from the driver's seat, and it's not really noticeable from the passenger seat either. The rear camera is almost invisible too. It's unobtrusive from outside the vehicle as well, though doesn't hide as well as the Tesla specific one advertised various places, but it's cheaper, and does way more. (The tesla specific one is one channel with no GPS, and no parking mode)
Other items I've added to the vehicle:
- tire patch kit and 12v air compressor
- folding shovel for winter
- 4" wide velcro strips to hold the above 2 items in place in the cubbys on the sides of the frunk
- a piece of that drawer liner no skid stuff cut to fit the centre console area to stop stuff sliding around
- 2 sets of Rial Luggano 19" wheels, one with winter tires, the other with all season tires.
- various custom electrical adapters, including one that allows me to charge at 240v from 2 120v outlets if they're properly wired, and ones to charge from 20A 120V outlets, 30A RV outlets, and motel air-conditioner outlets.
As for what else I've done to the car, I'm not sure where "accessories" end and "modifications" begin:
- trunk parcel shelf lifter
- additional LED lighting in both the frunk and the trunk wired to come on with the existing lights
- 1000w 120v inverter wired straight to the 12v battery and with 2 outlets, one in the frunk, the other one beside the 12v outlet in the cabin
- 12v 2 prong trailer connector under the 17" screen. This is always on, and capable of up to 30A. I have many accessories that can connect to this depending on the situation, from extra cigarette outlets to a power cooler, or my amateur radios among others.
- modified the 12v outlet in the cabin to be always on instead of only when the car is on
- Raspberry Pi 3 single board computer and a 3 port switch under the dash connected to the internal vehicle network for diagnostic logging and to send custom commands to the car's onboard computers.
Pending items that I still want to do but haven't yet:
- Window tint
- probably another 12v 2 prong trailer wire in the trunk
- trailer hitch
- adapter to mount amateur radio antennas to the existing roof rack mounting points for special events
