Read this thread, it'll eliminate the blind spots completely.

For 50 years I had my mirrors improperly adjusted until I read the linked thread.

On the curb alert, nothing needs to be spliced or cut.

I have silly idea, just back up into the parking spot, the OEM Camera works for me every time.

Front cameras do not work so well as the lens gets mucked up every time you drive anywhere. You'd be amazed at what is at ground level on our roadways. Diesel fuel, tar, bugs, sludge, crap, rain, mud and everything else you can think of. You will be continually wiping the lens off.

Backwards facing cameras do not have this issue therefore work flawlessly!

I cannot overstate the importance of having a set of "fangs" under your front bumper if you are worried about damage. I have had a set for every Corvette I have owned. Why GM doesn't install something like this is mind-boggling! They take all of about ten minutes to install. Anyone can do it. And no, I do not know anyone with this company...just sharing info on a "must have" product!!!
