goblues38 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 35% is the limit in Missouri for fronts. I wanted them to be uniform. The car sure turns heads. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1004[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 That's a nice contrast with the silver. What's the little sensor or dimple behind and slightly above the front LED cornering lights? Is for lane departure warning or something? -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHO Rod Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sensor for auto parallel parking. Cool, I didn't realize that was an option for the new SHO! Have you tried it out yet? -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Cool, I didn't realize that was an option for the new SHO! Have you tried it out yet? -Rod I think it is for the blind spot sensor too. I have tried the auto parallel parking. It is a gimmick. While it works as advertised. I will never use it when i need to parallel park for real. there are a few issues. #1 its too slow to "find" a spot. You have to creep along with your blinker on to the side you want to park. If you go to fast (over 3mph) the car wont find a spot. If you are in a situation where you need to parallel park on a street, i am normally zooming quite fast till a find a spot. #2 it requires almost double the car length for a spot to "qualify" as a parking spot. frankly, I can park just fine in a big spot. i would need the assist for when things are tight. But tight spots it wont even work. My old car had back up sensors. Now this car has back up sensors and the camera. I dont think I will ever use the auto park.

goblues38 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looks good. What part of Missouri are you in? West county. Eureka wildwood area. What part of NW arkansas are you in. I drive to that area at least 4 times a year if not more. Wifes Parents live in Goshen, her brother in Lowell, Her sister in Fayettville, and various other cousins and uncles in Rogers. So I am there quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I think it is for the blind spot sensor too. Negative, the blind spot sensor is located in the square looking part of the rear fender well at the rear of the well.. I have the BLISS and I don't have any sensors on the front of the car, I believe those are totally dedicated for the auto park feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOTIME Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Have not tried the auto park feature. I'm sure I will give it a try someday, but not where there is traffic going on. I can parallel park just fine....now my wife and daughters are another story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Does the SHO come standard with front parking sensors? I was pretty sure it did, but something a few posts back made me second guess that. Back on a topic, your car looks great with that Tint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Interesting...... For what its worth, my front sensors are useless to me without progressive distance lights or digital read out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74d34h Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I have used the parking assistant a few times with mixed results. Some of the one way streets here in NY have alternate side parking. Hit the button put on the left blinker and it scans left then quickly goes back to the right side of the street! No good. Once in Yonkers I had success with parking in a tight spot on the street. You have to backup very slowly. The other 3 times I attempted to park where the curbs were half height and the sensors did not detect them and I drove up on them. Its a cool gadget but nothing to get all excited about. What if a sensor fails and you clip the parked car? How can you prove it is Fords fault? Exactly I will rely on my skills but its fun to show off once in a while.:thumb: BTW I like the silver and nice tints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
