Go for the Chrome tips unless you really are the adventurous type the go for the 8 Balls.

 

i kinda like the dice but only with matching fuzzy ones on the rear view mirror.

 

Or you could get the matching antenna topper Eight Ball

 

My bobbing dashboard Jesus might not like me removing the rosery from the reaview mirror and replacing with fuzzy dice.i

 

Are you serious? Back into a spot (its safer), or learn the dimensions of your car. Its only like 10 ft long and easily fits in a parking space. You don't have to park on the curb.

 

i saw some curb feelers on "pimp my ride" lol

 

I don't know why people are so against parking sensors; it just makes life easier.

We're all great drivers in our little worlds/know our cars' length fairly well, but if installing a parking sensor will save my bumper from that one scratch I get on that night that I'm tired/mad/etc as hell and lose concentration for a second, heh, so be it.

I've also been considering getting something like this installed.
My dealership gave me something like $482 including labor for rear-only, and somewhere around $1,500 for one that includes a camera. I find both prices to be ridiculous; but I can't find anything of high-enough quality that I would be comfortable with putting in my car--at least the $482 will be original Honda and won't be made out of tacky grey plastic and cheap LEDs.

 

Here, I found something without the horrid displays or overcomplicated LCDs, and its not priced so badly.

The only problem is: the site says that the front sensors are activated when the car is in forward drive (any gear that is non-reverse, I think?) and...here is where it gets complicated: while you are applying the brakes -- this might be a bit of a problem for our S. I'm going to email them and I'll let you know their answer.

Edit:

Here's another one... what I like about this is that the front sensors are always on but they don't emit a sound--only activate the display, and the display looks like it would be easy to modify (remove bad cover) and hide somewhere. So 2 front + 4 rear sensors + LCD for $219 -- meh, not too bad.

 

this is why its such an awesome find, to discover the perfect parking spots
that happen to be next to store windows; nuthin' like the aid of a virtual mirror!
