Curb alert will not work with novistretch, if mounted on grill ....certainly will work underneath.

Default Curb Alert Install

Had mine installed this morning. Took a bit longer than anticipated because the guys at the shop had never done one before, although they routinely install backup alerts.
Seems to work perfectly and is virtually invisible when installed as per suggestion.

Default Strike One!

You have to be careful when approaching a cement parking block at an angle. I sheared off my Curb Alert sensor over the weekend, it's so easy to do. Luckily it was not damaged. Now that NavTool seems to be sorted out I'm strongly considering going that route.

I have one installed in my MY15 Coupe and could not live without it!! My only problem is the sensor seems to move a bit...screw gets loose after few hundred miles and when I wash I normally tighten to lock screw back down.

Any thought to making a bluetooth version that can work with a smart phone?

That's a good idea, I'll see what the manufacturer thinks.

Has anyone installed these on the sides for the side skirts? My fear is not seeing a curb in a parking lot as I'm turning and running the side skirts into it....just replaced my 3/4 skirts from the wife creaming a curb in Chick-fil-A.

Audible alert should be factory installed on all Corvettes! That is a no brainer!

C7 Corvette Curb Alert
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.


Please click here for the PDF installation sheet



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.

Mini Curb Alert

Thanks,

Jim
