au1 parking- cant see

[plzhelpmeiamnew]

Hi, im having a teeny bit of trouble with parking, i cannot see where the boot ends when im parking, should i place a factory spoiler on the end to help me see the back? Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

why not, put the spoiler back if it helps.
thats all i used to use to judge distances in the AU

Reverse sensors are cheaper, and much more effective.

Same here. I actually want to take mine off but not being able to see the rear is what's stopping me, which sucks.

What? Cheaper than having a spoiler or a lip put on?

Heaps cheaper. Basic sets (which still work) start at $100 odd. A better set with distance display etc are about $200, plus fitting. I fitted both my sets myself, and it takes about 2 hours all up, so expect around $150 for fitting.

An obvious place to buy them is ebay:

So for $350 to $400, you have something that works, for less than the price of a spoiler (at around $450 to $500 painted and fitted).

Or Simply use your side mirrors. Or Lift your head up a bit.

Oh I see. Sorry, I didn't realise spoilers were that much because mine was painted & fitted for $300 so that's why I was thinking it would be cheaper getting a lip on but in that case, yes I agree then. It would be cheaper to get the sensors fitted.

Well there you go. Was I in the ballpark for supply & fit, Stav?

[mik]
