So i am planning on ordering the IPL/Aero Rear Bumper today, and i just thought of something. What do i do about the 4 Sensor Holes in the bumper? My G is a 2008, and does not have these sensor holes in my rear bumper.

Has anyone put the IPL/Aero bumper on their 2008? If so, did you buy the sensors, or was there another solution?

The holes i am referring to are shown below.

Hmmm... That sucks! Idk anything that could be done. Unless you pay a body shop to fill in the holes with a bondo of some sort and repaint the bumper, but that will get expensive. I really hope someone can think of a solution to that otherwise you may have to hold off on the bumper.

Maybe you can check with the dealer and see of its possible to add the backup sensor unit to a 2008 G? That might get costly as well.

Damn..i was hoping you had the answer!! lol

Dude...i feel like someone just in my cheerios. I called the dealer and those little suckers are $242 a pop. I checked them on orderinfinitiparts.com and they list at $136 each. Looks like im going to have to get creative with this, as i wanted this before the run next week. Ill keep you guys updated!

I just checked with my body shop and they said they can make it look like no holes were there for about half the sensors cost....hmmmmwhich way to go.

I know it can be fixed with bondo ... did the same thing to my front license plate holes when I had my bumper repainted. It just depends what the body shop wants to charge you to do that, and then you're still gonna have to repaint the bumper.

Im going over there at lunch since they are re-setting my front bumper today. Lets see if i can beat that $270 lol. I am going to feel ridiculous if i have them repaint a brand new factory painted bumper. Maybe they can just build 4 circles and insert them somehow without making it look like crap.

Damn those sensors!!!
