LOL no way. Those parking poles remind me of my uncles caddy serville back in the days with these on the bumpers Not feeling it LOL.




Honestly, whats up with the interior is that cloth or suede. The two tone thing looks really bad.

Pretty cool stuff, although it's definitely a distraction while driving.

I tried listening to a movie while driving and almost hit a curb and another car.

I imagine it's a great thing to have while sitting in traffic!
