What aftermarket sensors from Ebay would you recommend? Any links? Cheers

These are the same sensors that I bought from Ebay and from the same person too.

Cheers - how easy are they to fit. I was looking at a minimal work/effort type of sensor. Something where I dont have to take bumpers off.
Regards

No need for them, used to park gigantic monsters, the civic is a piece of cake.

Sidenote; Am I the only one who is disgusted by the circular scars parking sensors leave in your car/bumper? I might consider them when they finally succeed to build them totally invisible.

There is an amout of fiddling about to install them but if you're not happy about doing them yourself, you could always ask your dealer if it's OK for you to get them and come to some arrangement for them to fit them for you.

There is a 'How To' posted on here somewhere that someone kindly put on.

Aubrey, I don't remember if this has been asked before, but are they suitable for fixing to the front?

Having driven my Accord Coupe which is a lot bigger car than the civic and is also impossible to see the end of the car I cant see any reason why its worth buying the rear sensors. I had no problems judging how to park my Accord so the Civic to me seems extremely easy.

Personally i think its alot of money for something which is in my mind not needed but then there will be some people who just feel alot more happier in having them.

Also I prefer not to have them fitted as i dont like the look of them. I know there getting more and more discreet but I find personally it bugs me seeing them.

There are available electromagnetic sensors which require no holes.
See http://www.dyor.co.uk/parking_sensors_taurus.asp

I have no idea how good/bad these are, but they must be worth checking out seeing as no holes or colour matching is neccessary.
