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

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.

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
