Hi,

I would like to install rear parking sensors on my new accord .

I am not sure if I should get it from ebay and install it myself. ($80 for decent setup) or buy from honda dealer (not sure how much). I can fit them myself easily but my main concern is painting them in the right colour.

Any tips with paiting and fitting the sensors!
or good fitter in Sydney.

Buying "OEM" reverse sensors from a Honda dealer will be a rip off. Honestly.

We bought a kit off ebay for about $35, color coded and fitted it ourselves. Works and looks a treat! Saved so much money too.

Thanks, how did you go about colour coding it. Did you use plastic primer and clear coat as well. Spray painted or used touch up brush.

or go for aftermarket one, if you can't be stuff installing it yourself, should be around $200
