Anyone have a front facing bumper cam?

[99Zeus99]

I was wondering if anyone installed a front camera to judge the clearance of the chin spoiler , especially on lowered cars. My stock ride height clears most curb stops but I'm still paranoid and if I lower the car in the future, it concerns me.

Since I'm planning to go .75in lower I've already started to learn when to stop farther back, that way I'm already used to it when the springs go on.

Good advice. The hood is deceivingly long but sometimes I park way far back and I look like a dick parking.

Not any worse than the truck guys that have to back in to their spots...

Just check the backup camera and see that you are lined up with the end of the lot striping and you're good. No one said you had to go further..

I think OP is more taking about clearance from the ground, speed bumps, ramps, etc. not necessarily distance from the front of his hood to an object in front. I have also wondered this same thing when lowering my car which is partly why I haven't done it yet.

Good idea! Never thought of that. Thanks

Yes, this is mostly what I am referring to. The chin spoiler on my PP1 stick out quite a bit.

Try looking at the attached web page. I have thought about a wifi camera to connect to my android phone. This company looks like a possible resource.

Always back in once lowered

I bought one of these on a good sale over boxing day: https://www.amazon.com/FenSens-Smart-Wireless-Parking-Sensor/dp/B0711ND5ZS
It is not a camera but it has a display with bars showing how close you are to an object. You can customize the sensor to know how far your chin spoiler sticks out from where the sensor is mounted on the license plate. For the price (on sale), it's not a bad product and worth trying. It has come in handy in some tight parking spaces!

I don't use a front plate so that wouldn't work for me without modification.

Check out this install. Not a whole lot of info on the camera but this is what I would go with. Press the OK button on the steering wheel and the 8" display shows the front view on screen. (scroll down to see the camera)
