Curb alert
For those of you who have it, has it been worth it? Was installation as simple as the videos made it look?
Now that I'm spending more time with my new-to-me 2003 coupe, I absolutely love driving it. Parking it is still a little nerve-wracking.

Yes, I have it and would recommend it. After thinking I knew how close the curb was and was wrong with the scraping sound: ack:, I bought one. The installation was fine but it took 3 kits to get one that worked. The manufacturer and forum vendor were great to get me one that worked. The only issue I have is how fast the warning is sounded. I found it best to slowly roll to whatever. Once I learned that, no more curb scrapes.

Good to hear it works as intended. It certainly does make you cringe when that scraping sound occurs.

Got one and really like it. I have had it for a few years.
In the last month, it has started to beep when driving for no apparent reason. It checked to make sure the lense was clean and that it is still secured well. Kind of strange to hear the beep when cruising down the interstate. Always make me think what is that noise when it goes off when you are not "listening" for its help.
