Is there any way i can get one of those back up alarms that are on trucks and stuff in my front bumper??
Im droppin on s or h techs soon and im really bad at judging distance when parking so i was thinking that maybe i could get one of these to help??
Maybe it could be the first?

just grab a bumper off of a ford or lincoln n stick it in the front.. yeah idk you're have to come up w/ a way to set up the sensors n something that lets you know.. you can try n do it 1st but as far as i know there's nothing like that out there.

hmm i thought about that too, what you could do is put a switch on it and turn it one when you park instead of wiring it to your reverse lamp

sounds too complicated actually. i think a curb would be to low to be able to be detected in that way. just be careful and give yourself extra space.

sure is complicated thats why nobody has done it, most just get good in estimating distance

I just lowered my car (its my first) and i was nervous about parkin too, over the past couple months i have started to get into habits heres some tips:

1. Most cars have good enough paint that if you park next to them, you can see the barrier in the reflection, use that!

2. Just park way out and leave extra room to be sure your not gonna hit it and then your not in anyones way far away.

3. Stop where you are comfortable, get out and check, till you get good at it, this way you know your not gonna hit it and you'll eventually get good at it. And PS, ignore the wierd looks lol =P

Lower it and have fun!

just put a rear view camera up front. or learn to park.

I can park fine just dont want to be in a rush for something and accidentally scrape up my front bumper.

I saw something for a back up alarm at walmart but they sold out. I was just thinking maybe theres a sensor out there that i can just put on my bumper and wire it to the inside you know?? just dont know where to find something like that

i'm going to get one of the backup cameras and put it behind the grill in the front bumper and put it on a switch so i can turn it on when parking

there are aftermarket sonar systems... you'll probably need to drill holes in your bumper to mount the sensors though.

just back into spots, or line yourself up with the car next to you. or you could do what i do sometimes since im extremely low, just use the reflection of the car next to you to see how close your gettting to the curb.

Those sonar sensers are awsome and easy install.......fairly well built too.......my buddy put them in his Volvo cause his wife keeps driving over the curb and hammering her wheels..........he installed them low onthe sides to go off when near a curb....works cool.they are also small enough that they can be mounted inthe cubby area with a bit of doing .

What ever you get don't get sonar backup sensors by PORON. Their senors do not look smooth and clean when mounted on bumper.

believe it or not walmart has the cameras for about $80
