Any recommandations on Aftermarket back up sensor/parking assists? Also, the prices for them along with installation and labor. Thanks

I have them installed at one of my local shops all the time for my customers. They charge me between $200 to $275 depending on the car, installed.

I just did it on my friend's car:

My mom has this feature on her Mountaineer. It's the single only good feature of that car; very useful and helpful.

I only did the rear of the Vette....

It cost me $300 for the Vette, because of the labor involved and the sensors come by default in Black and I had them painted (OEM color) to match the car.

I don't remember the name of the system, I can find out tomorrow.

It's not my shop, i'm in the car business and forward most of my work to a specific shop near me. My office is in Hewlett, and the shop I take it to is in Lynbrook. I have to find out how much it would cost, but it will be somewhere in the $200-$300 ballpark depending on the labor involved, and if you want the sensors painted to match your body color or not.

Do they do tints too? I need to find a good shop around here, who will do some good work.

They do tints also. I took 1 car to them and wasn't very happy with the way it came out. If you're out on LI I have somone else I deal with that is reasonably priced, warrants the job and tint, and does good work. The name of his company is "Solar Solutions", all he does is tints. He works mostly for dealerships only, but if I need him to do a job for me I have to make an appointment with him and he does it by his garage (it's set up to do jobs there too). I also have another place I work with that's good with tints in Brooklyn, and that's www.212motoring.com.

I saw a setup on ebay that interested me. It looks like a foil tape strip. You pull the bumper cover and simply tape it to the inside. Its got a piezio and you tap into the reverse lights for power. Looked interesting as it didn't require drilling any holes. But I couldn't find any information beyond that so I passed on it.
