Fake Reverse Sensor Studs/Probes

[viper8548]

Hi,

I know some of you will say im crazy, I really like the look of reverse sensors but I don't really have the need nor could I justify paying $500 for it professionally installed.

Does anyone know or heard of fake stick on studs that you can just stick onto the bumper to achieve the luxurious look? Hopefully it will be dirt cheap and would be a nice cosmetic mod.

Cheers :angel:

why don't u buy just the sensor heads from Honda, and cut the wiring behind it. then stick the heads on.

they're not expensive. and will give you that 'genuine' look

[trism]

lol. is this like the new breed of ricer mods?

kinda like intercoolers on n/a cars

[Bludger]

i'll draw them for you

$2 per sensor pic

[aaronng]

Don't buy proper stuff and cut the wire. Go to the wreckers, look for a bumper with the sensor studs and pluck them off. Probably cost you less than $1 for a whole set (you'll cop some laughing from the wrecker guys, but it's all good).

Installation is what costs $$$.... for ease of application, rubber grommets + double sided tape. hahaheahehae

I think you can also buy them with sticky stuff on it already :thumbsup:

[dwn_boi]

lol i rekon get sum crayons and draw them on

[Bayani]

Grommets are about $5 a box.
You'll need to puncture a whole to put them in.

Or slice the grommet to half thickess with a blade and stick them on the bumper with sticky tape. No holes required.

I would laugh so hard if i actually see this in person.....

[Bludger]

hang on a sec, i'm contradictiong myself

i said its not funny, but laugh hard??????

hmmm

[EuroDude]

pfft $500 for reverse sensors, rip off

Buy them off ebay for $50 and install them yourself, its not hard to do.

Remove the rear bumper
Measure and Drill the holes with the supplied 20mm drill bit
pop the sensors in
route the wires into the boot through the existing accessory hole
mount the reverse sensor unit behind the carpet somewhere (above the wheel arch for example)
Connect/tap the power wire to the Reverse Light wire
Connect Earth to the Chassis
Route the Beeper/Screen into the cabin via the C-pillars (side of the rear seats)
Mount the Beeper/Screen under the seat or dash or where-ever you want.

If you cant install it yourself, get an auto electrician to do it, it takes less than two hours (probably 1 hour for a prr), so labour wouldnt cost too much. Maybe ~$150

Rofl!

hey mate not sure why you want that look, but anyway, my dc2r has factory honda reverse sensors.... I think these are the same as the euro and a few other models.....

No it was not a joke. Not when this was in your first post:

I thought I would never see the day of Luxo-Rice!

[aimre]

This is, without a doubt. One of the stupidest things ive ever read on here.

Its par with that guy who bought a boost gauge for his NA integra

[ChineseBoi]

i have absolutely nothing to say about this topic but lol

[gldsaucer]

make sure you use super extra sticky tape as it would not be funny if one falls off.

[viper8548]

lol i was refering to reverse sensor like probes, i cant believe im the only one who thinks they look good.

[Shimian]

atleast hes after sensors which looks decent. I saw a car today full of the black rubber protection stuck everywhere. 4 at the front, 4 at the back, saw 2 on each door. And that was all i could see cos i was driving

[chinesewhisperz]

each to their own buddy...and yes..you're crazy

[Kiz_EG6]

hahahahahahahahahaaaaa... this guy for real, i'm bout to put a link to this in the funny shite of the day thread!!

[02gzm]

Hahaha in all seriousness who is going to say to you, "nice parking sensors man". Get the $99 ones and install them properly if you want them. Having them just for looks sake is very lol-worthy.

[viper8548]

I do think it looks good on the euro

All in all this sums it up.

Seen that done on a commonwhore!

Please for the love of god dont do it!

[Angrylarry]

This is almost as funny as using a fire extinguisher to look like a nitrous purge.
just paint some bottle caps and stick em on.

[.QD]

Wow! Ricing with fake reverse sensors.

[tommmoe]

got my dads working ones for $50 from ebay.. why not wire them up if there gonna be there

[CB7_OWNER]

As long as the OP likes the look of the sensors.. then let him be....

Just a thought though...you could get small rings, or washers.

With the washer's i'd say about a 12mm , and tap the inner hole out to about 9mm, and then colour them in to match your car. And then stick on car with double sided tape, or some type of glue (Which will prolly kill ur paint).....should look pretty genuine from far away? ----- Cant belief i just thought of that -_-..
