Question,
has any of you heard of sensors for the front of vette to prevent hitting parking lot concrete tire stops. Tired of hitting them, have not done any damage but would like to prevent from doing so some day.

Nice trip and pictures!



We had the Curb Alert in ours for a couple of years and just removed it. When we did our double din we added a back up camera and threw in a front camera also. I got to where I used it for parking more than listening for the Curb Alert. Either the camera or the alert will give you the protection you need for the front.

Appreciate all the photos and updates!
