parking sensors?

Anyone know if there are parking sensors available for the CLs or TLs or know of some that could be molded into the bumper?

When I went to Asia last summer, I noticed that almost all newer Japanese vehicles had them and was wondering why they dont offer em here. Not that I need em but I figure it couldnt hurt to have some extra help.

$7.99 at Murrays and K-Marts. Better known as curb feelers...
Dont forget the gold door and trunk edge guards...
Oh and the fuzzy dice or eight ball to hang from the mirror

If you buy curb feelers, you will be permanently banned from this board and we will send a recovery team to repossess your Acura!

Being the world's worst parallel parker, I'd also be in some sort of sensor. I was thinking of just taping a couple of stud finders to my bumpers. :P

we need them, our car's ass is too big...the spoiler helps 75%, but it's still kinda hard to see without half of my body hanging out of the window

btw, that camera that can check out the rear view is tight

Great, so If I'm parallel parking I can sit there like a dumb ass.

I have a friend who owns a car audio shop, and he was telling me that he sells an aftermarket reverse sensing system, that is installed behind the rear bumper. It is activated when the car is put into reverse. If I remember correctly, it was fairly inexpensive, like $150 or $200. I will see him on Saturday so I will ask him about it. He has the factory parking control on his X5, and it is awesome. Of course they have front and rear, which is even better! If I find out more info, I will let you guys know.
