Back Up Camera: workmanship ??

Can someone please let me know about the back up camera? I"m concerned that since it is dealer installed that the fit and finish will not be up to par. For example, will the housing on the rear of the car be color keyed to my car's color? I've seen some bad jobs by dealer who get 'drill happy' with add-ons that are not centered properly, wiring harness not insulated properly, or other work that is not just up to snuff compared a factory job coming from Japan.

The cam only comes in one color (black) but the dealer doesn't drill the hole for the cam itself, it goes in the hole where your trunk switch is right now. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only hole that's drilled is to relocate the trunk switch about 4" to the right of where it is now, and it becomes a little rubber flush stud, instead of the larger switch it is now.
