Rear sensors for a great price.

I bought some of the ebay rear sensors for $20.00 and installed them on the Maxima this past weekend. The install was easy to follow, the tricky part was trying to figure out how to run the wires through the trunk. I ran the wires underneath the bumper as you can see in the pics.
I loosen the left tail light enough to run all the wires from underneath the bumper through that gap where the tail light mounts to.

It comes with everything you need including the bit to drill through your bumper.

This is not a great right up but it gives you an idea of how the end result looks.. Plus the website re-sized my pic so you all cannot see the text I included in the pics with explanations.

I'm not diggin all those sensors in the rear bumper. It might have looked better of they were painted to match the car.

Hopefully your taillight does not chafe through those wires.....

I really hate how big the display is though, with the spoiler I can get within like 2-3 inches of another car easily, I dont think it's really necessary

Well the reason behind this is my son bumped a pole or something a while back so I figured I get them. He is a new driver so I need all the help I can get short of not letting him drive.
