Parking Sensors

We've all seen the backup ones on the new cars, mounted in the rear bumpers. Nice idea, but UGLY!

My problem, like all Firebird owners, is knowing where the front of the nose is. The Camaro guys have it easy. They can see the front end of their cars.

So I got me a kit off eBay. But my problem is parking forward, with those parking poles for signs. But they come with black sensors & my GTA is white. I only used 2 of the 4, towards the center, to get close to parking pole signs, without stopping 4 ft away, or bumping them.

I managed to hide them OK, huh? And without painting them....
