Damaged lower trim on front cowl

After avoiding it for more than two years I finally bumped the lower front black trim strip on my RS2 #921. Luckily the painted bumper cover above was undamaged so I removed the black strip which was held in place by an amazing number of fasteners. It was mashed but not broken so my heat gun relaxed it to something close to it's original shape. Thickened epoxy reinforced the back and a thin coat on the surface restored the original shape after sanding. Painted satin black the repair should be undetectable.

My question is whether anyone has installed a proximity sensor to prevent damage in light of the extra low clearance on the front of the RS2? This unit on Amazon should work except that I don't know where to mount the sensors and think the display may look pretty tacky mounted on the dash. I'm just about ready to forget it and hope that the work of the repair will make me more careful. Any ideas?
