Ya, the parking aid sensors. i am curious as to how it would look though? because my car is silver, and if the sensors are still black... would the sensors still work if it was painted over? i'm not quite sure. anyoen that has had this done before?

Yes, it is possible to paint over them. I have seen this done a few times to color match vehicles, you just want to make sure the paint isn't too thick. Any reputable body shop should not have a problem doing it.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Although it does affect the range of the sensors with paint, and sometimes it does stop them from working. They can be ordered new with paint to match vehicles, but at about $120 each it is expensive!

Hey Rasta ... yes the undercarriage was there when I bought it ... previous owner installed it ... but it is not installed now, the guys broke some bolts when they were doing my transmission ... it needs some welding but I am not in the mood now ... will install it back next weekend maybe ... I also have the 87s ready with the tires but I am too lazy to put them on

Hey Essam,
C'mon man, don't be lazy and don't tease us with your rim upgrade. Now go and get those new 87's on asap.

Here's a little bit of inspiration for you (by kind permission of mtX5) .

Hijack over.
