    I'm about to order a CBI T3 high clearance rear bumper as I'm semi local to them. The only issue I have with the bumper design is the lack of parking sensor holes. I don't care about losing the blind spot monitoring, but I do car about the parking sensors. Has anyone drilled their bumper to add the factory parking sensors? Is there enough room behind the plate for them to fit? I'd probably put two inboard of the recovery points, and two out near the corner.

    Hey man, I'm in the middle of cutting holes for my reverse lights and I'll be drilling it for the parking sensors this weekend. They'll be in a similar configuration that you described. I don't have any pictures of the inside but I'll get a few tomorrow. There's a ton of room behind the plate though. Hope to get it out to powder coat on Monday and installed next weekend. I ordered this thing on November 6th and it just came in a few days ago so I'd order soon! lol

    Looking good! I actually called them and ordered mine today. They said they can drill the holes for me, so I'm getting S2 mounting holes as well as parking sensor holes. The reason they don't offer it on the website is that the stock clips don't work well with how thick their metal is. They recommend using silicone to hold them in, but I'll see what I can do when I eventually get it.

    I don't use them very often, but my sensors work great.

    Too much to list
    Have you had any issues keeping them in?

    I’ve not found any real info but does spacing matter or are they accurate enough regardless of where they’re placed?

    The placement of those sensors look about identical to where the C4 bumpers that come with the holes cut are placed too
