WTF Bumper antenna??

[whomiked]

Ok well I ordered a Silvia front end conversion, but on the bumper there is this antenna. Has anyone else seen something like this before?

Wow, that's a factory parking aid. It goes up and down to help with showing the location of your bumper in relation to another car when you parallel park. Cool.

[LB.Motoring]

Thats a light.

[LongGrain]

its not an antenna, its a parking pole, it extends up so you can see where the front of your car is when parking in tight spaces.

Dealer option in Japan. Pretty common, though few people get them here.

[skylindrftr]

Its on the wrong side.

[sileightyfreak]

Its on the wrong side.sides dont matter... as long as u know where ur at while parking. plus you can jus reposition it like in the pic

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

well if it was on the US passenger side it could help to know where the edge of ur car is.

:) yeah lets stay on topic here. i like the position light thingy, thats my opinion and u guys gotta deal wit it

[xamraci]

JDM PARKING POLE...:Ownedd:

[WERDdabuilder]

lol driving and parking r two different things

you really think so? they both go hand in hand. so if you can't park you shouldnt be driving. like most girls right?

-thanks

[ranger240]

haha looks like the previous owner needed more than just a parking pole to keep from dinging up the bumper based on that big gash on the corner

[sileightyfreak]

[EJ253]

thats neat. i'd reposition it so it sticks forward out of the grill

so when people are looking at my engine i could flip the switch and squirrel tap them...
well in my car's case, it would just hit their knee haha

[White Comet]

Yes, we got the idea. We just told you what it was.
best response

[max2damax]

congratulations Mr. Whomiked.. its a boy!, and it gets horny every time you park. ja.

Yeah thats actually a pretty rare find for a front end. I don't think we have ever gotten one of those.

We get the Honda bumper poles all the time. Bleh.

[IIIXziuR]

....but will people still curb their wheels when using the " parking antennas"?
Hmmmm

[jackjack]

meh........ keep it. since it came with the bumper.

[ripnbst]

You guys are all newbs, its so you can get your nose as close to the clipping points as possible. Its totally a JDM drifter thing.:ugh:

[SHIFT_*grind*]

How hard is it to look in the side mirror and see how close the curb is? =P

I'm reminded of the Audi commercial poking fun at the Lexus LS's self-parking system...

Put color-changing LED's in it and have a party.

[usajdm]

Fender mount/bumper mount parking assists have been around since the 40's.
It aint nothing new......................

You know.......................... "japan" didnt invent everything.
90% of these "jdm" ideas that are so popular right now had already been done here in america.
Maybe if I put a "nismo" sign on my turd, I could sell it on Ebay as "JDM".

Why are people pretending that they live in japan?I mean a rhd conversion is useless here not to mention akward.Just like this bumper pole when would you find yourself ACTUALLY using this for its purpose?.Its just my opinion:D.

[J-Style]

:ugh: There is some hate in here.:ugh:

[O3DigitalBath]

haha, I had one like 5 years ago on my old civic...

and the kid who posted pics of his friends eg...wtf guy used one made for an EK and then put it on the wrong side, the pole has a gromet that conforms to the contours of the bumper to stay in place and bolts to the fog light space, so his is all sorts of rigged...

here are some like 5 year old pics of my old civic:

(thats the one made for EG's)

I bought mine way back before most the fan boys even knew what it was....then traded for a used T3 50 trim, a new fmic and a new greddy bov...haha, I had 60 total into it

[!Zar!]

You all are stupid.

Why the fuck are you going on about where it came from and jdmbullshit.

ALL the op asked was what it was. Not some, "Omg this is some jdmbullshit check me out" thread.

Question asked, question answered.

EASY AS FUCK.

No chill the fuck out. All of you.
