Which options will put dimples in the bumper?

Which options will cause your mustang to come with the circles all around the rear bumper? Would love to avoid if possible.

401a / reverse sensing system.

401a / reverse sensing system.

I was considering 201A for my Ecoboost. Think the circles are going to be ugly enough to warrant not getting it? I'd imagine people would only notice them when its parked. Does BLIS only emit radar from the rear or are there more ports around the car?

I didn't want the little dimples in my car, but having a system similar to BLIS on my mazda 6 made life so easy. I will definitely be going with the rear sensing system in my mustang. It has saved me from some close calls in the 6.

I didn't think BLIS added the dimples and it was only the Reverse Sensing Package?

I could be wrong but it would be worth it to verify that both do. Reverse sensing package definitely adds them, I am unsure about BLIS.

RSS is a standalone option, and I'm sure it's the cause of the bumper blips. You can get it on any model, not just 401a. I have it on my 400A and was going to get it had I ordered 300a.

So are we in consensus that BLIS doesn't have dimples?

 

[Laztug]

To my understanding, they share the sensor.(dimples)
So you will get the dimples if you get a XX1a or RSS.

You are correct BLIS does NOT have dimples. The main reason the reverse sensing system is left off the LEs is due to the ugly circles that ruin the aesthetics.

Can someone post a picture of these dimples?

on top of the reflector on top of the muffler tip...

 

[Laztug]

I was wrong.
Looking at the owners manual, ford has sensors in the rear bumper. I am guessing where that blacked out reflector looking thing is?

Look on the Ford builder and select it... it is pretty accurate.. shows dimples and smooth with reverse sensing or not respectively

The dimples are the sonar sensors for the reverse sensing system. BLIS and cross-traffic alert use radar sensors that are hidden behind the plastic bumper cover on either side of the car and the sensors are not visible.

Here's a pic I found, I don't think they're that bad at all..but do suck to clean wax out of..
