Cool Parking Sensor on GS

I just received two sets of Parking Sensor Kits (4 sensors) that I order online for $60 per kit. Next week I'm going to have the sensors painted and installed. Just checking to see if anyone have pictures of their rear bumper with parking sensor (4 sensor type) installed on their GS? Want to see the placements. I thought I recall seeing a Aristo with sensors on it but can't seem to find them. Did find one with two sensor type.

My Aristo has parking sensors (but only 2 sensors type on each bumper) and they are placed right where the bumper starts curving on each corner.

I'm also very interested in the details of this project.
Please post what the final install looks like and what your impressions are of the kit you used.
What was the amount of labor to paint, install and wire and final cost.

After totally annihilating my rear bumper (parking in the city) I wont get that fixed until I get one of these installed.

Hi alexulan:

Actually the painting and install is going to cost me ZERO because of a minor rear ended accident I had. The other guy's insurance company is paying for the new bumper and repair. The repair shop is going to paint and install the parking sensor for free.

I went with the basic no display version of the parking sensor kit. I think the audio feedback is all I needed. The display type will be a bit more distracting. The kit is quite nice. It even include the hole cutting drill bit.

There is a 24 minute video of the install process (look for it on the Wireless LCD version). Look pretty easy to install.
