You will have better luck there

With the backup camera can you see the sides or just straight back?

The back up cameras I have seen installed are mounted near the rear license plate. As a result, you only see behind you.

In all seriousness, is there something like this we could mount on the front lip? I get tired of having to guess on those concrete parking barriers.

Interesting... I wasn’t aware of anything like this but I would like front and rear... is the warning inside the car? - audible or visual (like a light blinking)... sorry for al the questions but I back to a wall frequently in a parking garage and the lighting always varies so something like this would be great... And I too (as poster above) would like to avoid the damn parking curb.

Hit the parking curb the first time the wife drove my car. It only hit that little black thingy under the bumper, but it scared the crap out of me.

Guys w/ lip spoilers or lowered susp must have it rough.

There's a lot of parking sensors on sale on Ebay. This one looks interesting:

http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-4-Sensor-Car-Reversing-Parking-Radar-Detector-Y01_W0QQitemZ270000075127QQcategoryZ75330QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemSome give an audible warning, while some others have LEDs. They even include a drill to make the holes on the bumpers. Who is brave enough to buy a set and try?
