    Nice write up & thanks for taking the time to do this and document with great pictures.

    Pretty slick workaround to mount to the front grilles! Concerned about their longevity there, but that's super clever.

    Did your kit come with a rear visual sensor too, or just the front one on the dash?

    That small display on the dash displays front and rear sensors. When you backing up, put it in revers it starts monitoring rear sensors. When you driving forward and start braking it monitors for you front sensors. Also beeping when you get closer to an objects. Works cool to me, i'm super happy

    Do you have a link to this sensor setup on ebay or perhaps a brand name? Great job!

    Hey guys! If you decide to install these sensors DO NOT install front one in the lower grill s i did. It works well but beeping with no seance at 30-50 mph when you slowing down by braking. I am trying to figure it out now what is a problem, maybe it just broken sensor or they installed to low. I am gonna contact manufacturer and see what they say. I will keep you posted.
