Small camera in the trunk lid (VERY light) and a screen built into the review. Won't need much change/modification at all... Just have to run one wire to the front and tap the reverse lights. (or other source) for power.

Easy.
go to the dealer and ask how much a backup camera costs, then get back with us. Its not cheap.

Sounds like a great idea, but a lot of people who have this screen rely on it, and don't ever turn around to look. There are a lot of things that can happen (AROUND) the car that these people will be oblivious to.
