front pic of the bumper. Notice the parking sensors are installed. This bumper tucks in a lot more than the 2010-2013 version of the classic.

Are the proximity sensors working properly?
Also, can you tease us with a few side pic's also?

I lost my headlight washers with my MetalTech front bumper.
On the bright side, I do have an extra button on my dash I can use for lights or??
I do not have enough room for the headlight washers. I like how there is enough clearance for me to reach in and config the winch. Also, I added the 6 ohm resistors in parallel and now the blinkers are working at normal rate.
Did you use the supplied crimp-on splices for the signal resistors?
No, I had an electrical crimp kit that comes with some bullet connectors. I connected the resistor to the signal light wires then crimp it on. It seems solid.
Some pictures of the resistor install for those that may have questions.
Sorry I missed this. The side sensors work great. The front sensors works fine most of the time. Sometimes, it acts up as if there is something really close proximity to it. This was isolated to the left center sensor. Before I got it to work at all, I had to drill and bevel the metal on front a little more. It would be too sensory to the metal surrounding it in front. Leveling it with the step bit helps a lot.

I will sometimes get the "BEEP-BEEP-BEEP" from the sensors in wet weather. If ti rains and I've been wheel'n, mud may slide down and cover the sensor, same for snow, I've had snow slide down and cover the sensor and when I slow down for a street light, stop sign, etc. it'll start going off like I'm about to bump something.
I just get out and wipe them all off with a paper napkin or something and they're fine.
funny we never had this issue with stock bumper

Just like the song by Albert Hammond, "It Never Rains In Southern California" (1973)
How did you attach the proximity sensors?
I drilled approproate sized holes into the bumper then used factory sensor brackets/mounts.
