Cure for the Common Curb....
Introducing the "Cure for the Common Curb". Front end damage when parking is a very real problem for many cars on the road today, especially for vehicles who have installed ground effects or aerodynamic profile improvements on their vehicles. Curbs are something that are one of those road hazards that do more damage to sports cars than any other hazard on the road.
In fact, just a simple trip to the corner store can become a costly errand if you over-estimate your front end clearance when parking: damage repairs could easily run $1000 or more; however, Curb Alert provides you a warning system that gives you three-deep warning tones as you approach too close to a curb.
The Curb Alert is very easy to install and does not put a drain on your battery when the car is not on. Using a patented infrared technology, the front mounted sensor is calibrated to a warning distance of anywhere from 8-28" (you decide with whatever you feel comfortable with). The warning alarm is hidden in the car and will give you three gentle tones when you are within a specified distance to the curb. The system gives you a short beep every time you start your car to let you know the system is active.
The Curb Alert is one of a kind and is a gadget that will save you money in the long run, preventing front end damage to any car that is low enough to be vulnerable to a Curb. Do not take a chance, get the Curb Alert to prevent curb damage.
This is not one of those gimmicky products, we have installed it on a Corvette C6 Z06, Nissan GTR, and a Dodge Challenger. In all instances it works exactly as described (we wanted to test it ourselves before we opened the flood gates
) It is the real deal and will save you money in the long run. Heck it might it even give you enough confidence to let your significant other take the car for spin (my biggest worry letting someone else drive my car is there lack of familiarity with judging the curb distance when parking)
Installation Instructions (we are the only ones offering Custom Install packages and videos to install on the C5, C6 and Camaro) and videos are at the link below
We have the Curb Alert in stock for 149.99 with free shipping.... at the link below...Also have a great video that shows how the system works and another video on how to calibrate it once installed.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Do you have detailed installation instructions for putting this device in a C6 (power source/tap, wire routing, sensor & warning chime mounting) available? If so, can you post a link to them?
Enjoy,

I have not seen a response to the above post. Is it possible to receive a pdf or download the instructions? This looks to be an excellent product.

I think that Curb Alert is going to be the first thing I install on the new GS I take delivery of later this month.
My wife has hit numerous curbs / parking dividers with our Camry while parking ... Lots of scratches in the lower section of the front bumper. She always claims ... "I just don't know when to stop!"
I can only guess at how much damage to the front of this Corvette will take place if I don't install a Curb Alert! ... Now, if she will only remember to stop moving forward when she hears those little 'beep' sounds.
And the price is right from Southern Car Parts!

remember the olde days?
What ever happened to "curb feelers"? ya ... they were ugly and made your car look like a porcupine, but they were cheap. the high price techno gadgets still can't grind away the steep driveways, speed bumps and parking lot bolsters fast enough before you go OOOhhh Noooooo!!. they also don't help if you drive into a pothole on the corner of the road deeper than your ground clearance anyway. as i remember, hitting a muffler or a small wood box on the highway at 55 mph produces the same amount of damage and heartache.
