that’s the best advice I can offer. If you can’t observe a curbstone from 10 feet away and stop before you scrape turn in your drivers license
have a nice day

no it’s high enough not. To hit anything, you’d hit the front of your car first. Check to see if you have a slot there. That camera fits right it with no modifications!
and all it takes is one scrape to ruin your paint so if putting a camera in helps, go for it!

Why not try helping people instead of being sarcastic, and insulting of our driving abilities? Perhaps you should start a Corvette parking school?BTW.....I didn't learn to spell in a cow field. Just because YOU did doesn't mean we all did. But then, we all have scraped, NOT scrapped, our front underside on curbstones, where you have not. So maybe that cow field diploma you have isn't all bad!!

Looking for recommendation for placement of a front camera. Already figured out where the rear camera will go.
Would like the front to help with parking and pulling into spaces. Would really like mot to drill into the front plate are.
Was thinking possibly in the vent area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. HOWEVER if you're going to

on here looking for help and ideas. Not to be put down like others have been. Thanks.

would like it more centered but that might just be the way it is. On
a different note. Was just wanting a camera for parking "assistance".
I CAN park without one. I can drive without power steering too. But it's
nice to have. Thanks for the positive responses and suggestions as to
where a camera can and has been placed.

If a picture of our front camera placement would help, I can get you one tomorrow, but as I said, our front bumper is the Corvette Creationz ZR1 set up so it would not be very compatible with the stock C5 bumper.
Hope this helps.
