Back up sensors
 
Any advice on a back up sensor kit and cost to get this installed? Just interested in the sensor plus noise (beeps) as an object gets closer. Would like to add this to a Mazda 5.

I can only really speak for myself, but I'll assume my other industry counterparts will be very similar in price.

Most vehicles start around $399 installed plus paint (roughly $50 or so). This would be for a reputable brand that comes with 3 years warranty. Some vehicles may require a little more work to do.

I've seen some places do some for as low as $250, but those are for the no name chinese kits with a less than stellar reliability. We stopped carrying those because of the constant issues with reliability/quality.

Steel bumpers are possible but require more time to do.

Give your nearest sponsor a shout, and I'm sure one of us will take care of you

Cman is right. You get what you pay for. Imagine having paid $250 for a set that stop working a few months down the road to find out that they don't make that product anymore and the holes that were installed are now too big for a quality set. Now you're looking at a new bumperskin for an extra $700 plus the cost of $399 for a new set to be installed.
That happened to a few people that came here after getting the cheap ones somewhere else. Those people were pissed!
Don't fall into the trap! Buy it once.
