Looked at the $40 one's, but didn't want to drill 4 holes in bumper. They also are rather large compared to factory installed. If my car was black to match sensors I would have give it some thought. Did you have yours painted to match car? Some won't work if painted over! The Ross type are microwave sensing. They see through the bumper, so are hidden. I don't think I was ripped off for this type installation. A local auto store wanted $325 for same. There are all kinds & prices, this is another option which I am so far happy with!

really- got pics?

where did you order the kit?
thanks,

They were installed above the two anchor points that attach the covering under bumper. The plastic push in bolt is replaced with a bolt that comes with kit. Biggest problem was getting bracket bent right. Not a lot of room to play with. Bumper cover could be removed, but with a new car didn't want to chance chipping paint. Drilled two holes. One for mounting module control, and one through jack compartment for the wires to the audio and light led. Audio goes in center tail light compartment. There were a lot of differant prices on internet. Brandon Distributing in Mn. was my choice.

Installed behind bumper backup sensors two days ago on our ES330. No drilling in bumper and are not visable. Kit includes everything needed, buzzer, lights brakets etc. Had them on my last car (Caddy) and are very helpful. $181.00 self installed.

If you have a Sam's Club in your area, it would be a good place to buy. Purchased 4 pc. set for $20.00. They are very much like the Weathertech. Three colors.
