C6 Corvette Curb Alert Front Bumper Alter System


In stock here: http://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2034

Price: $149.95 / free shipping

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 with your C6 Corvette, Z06, Grand Sport or ZR1.

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.

*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.

they are nuts. The owner didn't show up as he was suppose to. Person who was there but didn't know anything about this kind of work.
He did take down all information for the owner and took pics and talked to owner on phone. End result was a waste of my time as owner didn't return my phone call on estimates. I drove 85 miles to get to them and they said they would get back to me. Well they lost out on that deal. I certainly won't recommend them. They charge too much anyway.thanks...I will check with forum dealership on here..

I was inquiring about such a system from my custom stereo installer yesterday. He said he had put one in and it kept giving false alerts in rain and snow. I'm sure it wasn't an RPI unit but have you had any problems such as this?
