Parking sensors for rear/front?

jekel · 07-29-2009, 03:12 AM

Hi guys

I have ordered the Z and should arrive for pick up by mid Aug. I ordered rear parking sensors to be installed which will look like 4 color matched dots. Didn't really want the look to change but you can hardly notice and rear view/blind spots so bad though it'd help with parking.

They offered to do the fronts really cheap so said yes, it will also put 4 small color coded dots sorta next to where a number plate would go into the centre. Just wondering if anyone else got this or think its a bad idea/ugly?

i didn't know the z had the option, but i think a rear camera would be better

Yep is available on the brochure in aus as offical accessory. Camera is available but pretty expensive and aftermarket, not from nissan.

Parking sensors on a small Sports Car don't make any sense your not driving a Ford EXPEDITION! just my 2 cents sorry.

Well it looks like in aussie land they give you those options which is really cool. I wish state side they gave us that and the back up cam.

Yep... if only they gave us the 19-inch wheels as an option. lol.

A rear-view camera would have been an excellent option.

I have had both and I actually think the sensors work better for parking. Nothing beats a camera for backing out the driveway though. I car with both would be perfect really...
