Default Curb Alert Front Bumper Protection System at PFYC

Curb Alert Front Bumper Protection System

Introducing the cure for the common curb, the Curb Alert. 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 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.



Features:
- Universal Mount (All Makes and Models)
- Warns with an audible alarm before striking a curb that could damage your front bumper and/or spoiler.
- Prevents embarrassing parking lot moments and sounds when your bumper or front spoiler hits a curb.
- Sensor can mount in a discrete manner in the front end of most any vehicle and does not require any drilling.
- Advanced infra-red triangulation technology and specialized software embedded for reliable operation.
- Warning distance is adjustable from 8-28 inches. (Bumper to curb)
- Removable when necessary with out leaving any holes as evidence.
- Automatic power-up on vehicle ignition; never a battery drain.
- Alert sound volume can be set to High, Low, or Mute inside vehicle.
- Installation kit includes installation procedures, all wiring, wire ties, sensor calibration procedures, and user guide.

This is not one of those gimmicky products, we have installed it on a Corvette C6 Z06, Nissan GTR, BMW 335i, 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 their lack of familiarity with judging the curb distance when parking).

Just installed one (from you guys) yesterday on my 05 Coupe. The installation was easy and it works great. One suggestion, mount the speaker on the fuse panel behind the floor board. It is totally out of sight and easily heard on the low tone setting.

One little suggestions, after you have set to the curb, take some RTV and put into the hinge so it will never move, and don't worry about people hitting them or you when washing your car.

I not only like, I would say I love it, and made my cousin buy one and friends, guess who got to install them. I am expert, and it done in 30 minutes.
It has saved me many of times, from hitting curbs.

The width will depend on how high you have it pointed. The waves are emitted at about a 45 degree angle.

This is a great product and easy to install. After having it for a few months it has become second nature to listen for the "beep-beep" when pulling up to a curb. GM should make this an option on new Corvettes.

Default Work on rear?

Could a 2nd unit be installed (discretely) on the lower rear bumper ?

Anything is possible if you are handy with tools. You would probably need to fabricate a mount for it. But there is no reason it would not work.

I installed one about five years ago. Works flawlessly, well worth the money.

One of the first mods I did when I realized how close I was to ripping off the front end in a parking lot.

I installed on a C7 on the under pan. Get to many false beeps.
i have instructions to run the wire underneath with a coat hanger, how do I access the area behind the lower bumper area?
