I just bought the curb alert from Southern Car Parts ? Has anyone put this in yet ? It looks really good.

What is it?

shelleygraham

A sensor that goes in the front grille. You can set it from 8''-28''. It has high, low, or mute.

I believe that's the 50's version.

Wah

I'm too cheap to buy such thing, instead I back up when parking.

shelleygraham

I do back up a lot to but SOMETIMES you need to park forward and I am sick of scraping my chin spoiler. This is cheaper then repainting it every year ! Nice option I think .

Here is an install on a C5...pretty much the same thing for the C6.

Some pics of where I put the sensor and complete install here, Curb Alert Installation....here are a few of the pictures, more at the link above.

I will get more pictures up this weekend, just wanted to get you something to give you an idea.







Thanks,

Jim

Seems like a good idea to save you from hittings curbs.

Interested in seeing the new pictures.

Actually sounds like a useful device! I've managed to whack my spoiler a few times when it's not practical to back into a parking space....

I added some more pictures today....

Nice pics, but that sensor looks as low as that scraped rad cradle thingy (for lack of a better word at this second ).

southerncarparts

It is almost as low....about a 1/4" higher...

This practice is illegal in some instances.

I also do not think it is as safe.

Tight one way lanes and pulling out at wrong angle too sometimes.

Just thinking what I encounter around my area.

Well I have aftermarket stuff fore and aft. I need that protection in both directions. Two units or can something be done to protect yer nose and ***?

It might just be me but when I need to pull into a parking spot I just use a little more care. After a while I would think that everyone would get used to the length of their car. These cars are very short so you don't need to pull in all the way to be clear in the back. Just my .02.

mpuzach

Yup, same here.

I just put my on yesterday and it was really hard to get it set correct on distance and curb hight. You really need 2 people to get it callibrated correct. I done a lot of work on my Vette and other cars and this is not as simple as it looks. Finding the correct place to put the sensor was the hardest part. I did not put mine below the bumper afraid I would rub it off going in or out of the driveway. Remember you have to push the reset button evertime to make a change to it. Works great just too much work getting it where I wanted it to be. syswayne

I did not take a chance of the driveway rubbing it off under the bumper, so I put my in front of the grill and works great. syswayne
