Will this fit the 2014 Ford C-Max Hybrid front bumper? If installed on the rear bumper, will it obstruct the camera? Will it fit CA license plates?

I'm not familiar with your specific car, however, all license plate sizes are federally standard in the United States. But do consider, some bumpers are curved and dealers directly bolt onto the bumper. This may be an issue depending on the curvature. This applies to all cars. The solution is to ensure that you have a proper license plate bracket installed by the dealer, unless your bumper has a fitting molded onto it. As far as rear bumpers, again U.S. plates are standard, but not usually mounted on the bumper itself. In the rear they are usually mounted above or below the bumper in this no protective frame would be effective if mounted directly on the rear bumper. For that you would need a full bumper guard, not a plate guard. As far as the camera goes, no rear plate should be blocking the camera view, therefore this product should be o.k. That however, may not necessarily be the case when using a full size bumper guard.

Probably not! It is hard to tell from the picture but the cover is beveled all around the edges of all four sides. Unless your existing frame was very thin or very narrow, it will probably be too big to fit under the cover [the cover is also exactly the size of a standard [US states] license plate].

Yes it does I put it on my 14 the mounting instructions are backwards but it once I figured that out it only took about 10 minutes to install and it looks great. I dont know if you have a front license plate but I left it and put the bar over it. It only covers the bottom 1/4 of the plate.

It is a rubber frame that goes around the plate, it is not covering your plate. However, in looking at the packaging, it does state the following.

In some states, including without limitation California, off-road uses are also prohibited.

Dear Elizabeth .... in answer to your question ..... no, the cover doesn't distort cameras. Please go to phantomplate.com,if you are looking for that kind of plate cover.

Yes. if you require a front license plate, you'll need to move it, this blocks the OEM front license plate position.

If you are speaking about whether or not a case will fit over the back protector, it has no affect on its fit. I have a case that encloses the back, but I don't think using just a bumper will be any problem. I do note that the front screen protector's corners rise slightly due to the pressure of the front edge of the case, but it has no affect on any more than a quarter of an inch on the corners, but not on the sides. It doesn't impact the viewing of the screen at all.

I didn't have a problem it fitting a BMW X1, but I found after installing it that my entire license plate would start to pop off the back of the car... although I would reset it time to time, eventually I hit a bump hard enough to cause me to lose my entire license plate.

Itf the rear camera is factory then yes it will work, if its on that mounts to the plate then no it wont being that the mount for the bumper guard mounts to the plate directly

It all depends on the angle and if and how fast the car is moving. The camera has very good definition. It is not any special application for license plate recognition

If you have the sedan it will fit in between the license plate lights. Although the angle in which it takes the video is a little off but manageable. This will however, not fit at all on a coupe since it's made to be installed where the license plate light is on the coupe. I have a coupe and instead installed a flush mount on the actual license plate itself and works/looks great. My two cents...

If your requires front plates then yes because it covers your front bumper. lucky for me I didn't need to.

The version that I purchased about 4 years ago now does not. However, since it is located on your license plate frame location, it shows your rear bumper so you can judge. If your vehicle is an suv or van where plate location is further than 12 inches from the rear bumper, you might want to try and attach the camera to the bottom holes of your license plate, depending on your needs. I hope this helps!

Since the answer depends on how much surface area there is at the front bumper underneath to mount it depends. First if you have an area of about 12 inches from front to back starting just under the bumper to back one foot yes. If not if you can mount some cross bracket just to hold the license plate bracket Yes again. It most depends on what you are willing to do to make it work. This one is designed for the Corvette. I own a Prius and it fit perfectly. On good thing with a truck is that it sits higher. If you want to use the motorized version to push a button to display the license it is pretty cool. I would not suggest using the motorized version on a low vehicle like a Corvette Prius or other car that has less then 6 inch of ground clearance.

Hello, I got two of these and also use it as front camera on my cars. The image is correct on both. I believe that they sent to you a wrong camera.

I have it on a CRV and even folded, it doesn't cover up the license plate. If it does cover up yours, it comes with hardware to attach you license plate to the cargo shelf.

I mounted mine to the license plate on my SUV. I put a piece of metal behind the plate and drilled holes through it where the license plate mounts. They I drilled a hole through the center with the license plate bolted to the metal to hold in place temporarily. I then mounted the camera through the center hole I drilled and took off the bolts holding the metal to the license plate and then mounted them where they normally go. It worked great. The only problem I had was picking up road spray sometimes. It was a good place for me to watch my hitch connection for hooking up.
