You could use the same proximity sensor that I have on the front of my 2000. It attaches by two sided mounting tape. I use 3M body molding tape. It is the curb sensor sold by vendors on this forum.

That would be a pretty good solution.

Thank you Badbirdcage!
Also found a system called Proxel sensors. They're in Italy. Pretty cool, basically a sensor tape that adheres to the inside of both bumpers. About 160.00$. Love the concept but, the potential deal breaker is both bumpers have to be removed for install!

Have you thought about a backup camera rather then sensors? bolts up to license plate screws or double side tape and can be installed in a rear view mirror or in a aftermarket stereo.. gives a grid to judge distance.
Here is one with a Bluetooth option as well:

That looks pretty good, but I never found a U.S. distributor?
