Default Front Parking Sensors...

After upgrading to the 2020 GS-F I noticed the front only has 2 parking sensors. My 2013 GS had 4 in the front, and it was really helpful when the front was getting close to anything. Has anyone attempted to add the 2 missing in the center of the front bumper?

I'm not messing with mine but parking sensors are probably my only really issue with this car (other than moon roof rattle). The front sensors only go off if you have a person or wall in front of you - but you can curb the **** out of that carbon fiber lip on a sidewalk / parking block with the sensor not going off. I back-in to nearly every spot I park in. ha

Exactly this. So does the wife after I told her it would cost $5k to replace the CF lip.

What this car is really missing is a 360 camera. It was a big advantage the M3 had when I was cross-shopping.

I think over in the LC forums they try to prevent such scrapes with a front camera. I'm not sure what the options for a GSF are but that would help tremendously.

I agree with everyone's insight here. I have seen multiple aftermarket options for front mounted cameras if you are searching for a solution. This Beatsonic comes to mind: https://www.beatsonicusa.com/cameras/cs5ep.html
