Parking Sensors...

Hello everyone,
as a driver from Europe all of our cars have parking sensors and i know most of you guys living in Canada and USA don't have parking sensors and you don't like and don't use them but ones you are used to those it really makes your life a lot easier. I have been living in Canada for 7 years now and i am looking in to adding parking sensors to my 05 g35c.
my question is if anyone added parking sensors to their g35 and what brand did you use, how much you paid and any suggestions about parking sensor brands.
our cars in Europe comes with stock parking sensors so i never experienced adding one to any of my car.
if you have any experience with this please let me know.
thank you

Why would you NEED parking sensors? Are you referring to those
warnings you get when you're to close to the car behind you when parking?
My daughters Ford SUV has those, in a monster vehicle like hers they may
be needed but in our coupes useless....if you know how to drive!

parking sensors is a luxury feature which comes with all the cars in europe.
do you NEED to have electronic seats or windows? can't you roll your window up or do we need auto headlights? are we stupid and will forget them on all the time? can't you unlock or luck your car without the remote control? why do you need a push start button? can't you turn the ignition?
these are luxury options.
do you think all those m5, m3 ,6 series ,sl ,911 turbo,r8,Ferrari,Lamborghini drivers all over europe, asia and middle east don't know how to drive or how to back up their cars so that manufacturers in these continents expect America install the parking sensors as a standard luxury feature to ALL their luxury cars?

I have driven a friends car a few times with parking sensors and I absolutely love them.
I would love a set in my car (except I never park near anyone anyways)

I will say i saw something yesterday that depressed me in a way. I have a 530 bmw as that is my daily and it has the sensors and then yesterday I saw an altima coupe with the sensors on it and it made me mad all over again. I mean I paid 32k for my 06 coupe and then the altima coupes came out and it looks almost just like it and also a bit more luxury. I wish Nissan did not alienate its customers by making the infiniti and nissan products so similar
