Like the title says....I've seen 'em on the front bumper of the cars from japan and they are called parking poles......what the hell do they do? what are they for?

 

They're for better judging the distance between your bumper and the one of the car in front of you for parking. If they're on any usdm vehicle they're the definition of gay.

 

I think they are used as guides to be able to park because japan has limited space.

 

so that wouldn't be good to put on my car then.......

Do what you want, just know that it serves no real purpose on a tiny car with huge streets (comparitively). If you're trying to make your car into a jdm *****-mobile then this is must have.

 

hmmmm well I am a jdm *****, but I was really just wondering what they were for more than anything.....I am putting a new bumper on my civic and I was just curious.......

 

I wouldnt people will just see it and try to brake it off like a$$wholes

It goes down when you turn off the car.

It does have a function and you can use it if you'd like. I find myself parking to close to a wall sometimes or even too close to a car in a parking garage, so I could find it functional, to better judge the distance. People hate cuz that's what they do, but know that It does serve a purpose, whether you need it or not, it's your prerogotive, you be the judge.

There's some places in San Diego where the is no different than in JDM Land when it comes to parking, tends to be Asian restaurant parking areas, go figure.

 

SOunds like JDM goddamn curb feelers to me. Those were gay as crap back in teh 70's, and they are still gay today.

OMGRIFLMAO!!!!........dude I had an asthma attack just then lol

 

Grab your inhaler, and promise to never rock ski poles on your civic.

 

hahaha those truck reminded me as homer simpson as mr plow.

 

plow king &gt; mr plow

 

i always thought thought the parking pole was because japanese people are shorter and can't see out of the car as well.

but, if you can't park your car without hitting anything, get the expletive off the road.

and plow king &gt; mr. plow

Rear pole on an Si


Here's a close-up shot I found on password.

 

Theres nothing wrong or gay about it but it depends on where you stay like new york or congested suburb then I would actually use it not just for jdm appeal

 

I'm gonna do it........

 

Superautobacs here in SoCal sells a few different manual type poles where they just stick onto the headlight or front bumper and use the headlight beam to make it glow. I'll be getting one for the xB since it's hard to tell where the front bumper is on the box when parallel parking.
