It should be possible to replace the bumper with a bumper that has the locations for the sensors.

it's definitely doable to just replace the bumper with one that has backup sensors. but i think the problem woudl be how you hook up everything to the system, and whether that's doable (mainly financially reasonable or not)

I doubt that it's pre-wired! Replacing the bumper with a bumper that is made for the sensors is one thing but adding the park assist system is a totally different story. Why didn't you get it with the park assist. I'm assuming you need the park assist computer, sensors and a modified front and rear bumper. Then you're gonna have to route all of the wires.
