Could try T-Taps or Solder sleeves.... if you really feel you cant manually solder it.

EDIT: nvm, spoke too soon haha, you got the OEM front camera setup.

360 camera has been around for actually last decade. Mostly Lexus SUV have them, even at one time HS250 had front camera. Anyway, if you look at now all the luxury car makers have 360 cam, Lexus is the only car company that doesn't offer this in entry level sedan cars.

How did you mount the camera to the bumper? 3M tape or something? I like the flush look but you cut the grill too, my camera is sticking out from the grill.

I did up a quick sketch with MS paint here:
I used an ikea bookcase anchor and bend it up as a bracket and bolted it to a tab that's part of the bumper cover.





the spacer/washer was used to space out the camera just far enough so the fish eye can see everything yet not far enough that it sticks out like a sore thumb.
hope this helps.

Thats very creative. I guess you had to remove the bumper to do this?

you don't have to, but it makes it a lot easier to do the cut-out. If you're good at working with a mirror you can just stick a mirror between the rad and bumper and work like a dentist I just took the bumper off since it takes 10 mins.
