Nope sensors are acting up. Might have to follow another forum members advice to at least fix 95% of it.

What was that fix? I still haven't had the time nor real desire to remove and find a solution. I have learned to deal with the excessive beeping for a few seconds.

I still get an occasional beeping from the passenger side when I am backing out of the driveway, but I believe that is because it is angling down and detecting the pavement because of the angle of my driveway.
This one.. but after re-reading it now I don't know what I want to do because the thought of using duct tape/ 3m does not entice me

Worry not, as it may have just been the wonderful heat this summer, but that idea didn't work well as the adhesive didn't hold the sensors in place. I'm back to the drawing board as well, I had considered Liquid Nails or an epoxy, but haven't found a permanent solution either.

Yep, agree!! The only lip that looks good is the 3D design.

Given there's a face lift for 2020, I doubt many manufacturers will make more parts for a car with only a 2 year release range.. I sure do hope that I'm wrong though!!

For all those who have an aftermarket diffuser, did you have to source your own reverse sensor brackets for the new diffuser?

The one I got the sensors just clipped right in just like the OEM diffuser...albeit the fitment isn't as good and this the issue with them always beeping while in reverse as previously discussed in this thread.

Thanks man, so your diffuser came with brackets pre-installed?

I've just bitten the bullet on a real carbon fibre diffuser, so just trying to plan in advance.

Yep, all was there and ready for installation right out of the box.
