Upper part of grill next to license plate (wide area) used the shorter/narrower mount provided - I did not want to lose ground clearance - it is at a sharper angle downward which really works great

Although many here are happy with the curb alert, many of us had one installed and found it suboptimal. If you come in at any angle, it will not alert you and then crunch! It also can be difficult to get to work with a spoiler or can get hit by high flying debris. So many of us have ripped them out and have gone with a camera. I did after my Curb Alert died.
There are many threads here on how to add a camera on the front of a '14 and '15. Many different ways to do it. I went with the http://indiwork.co.kr/. They are now plug and play. They are also sold in the US now. There are other vendors and other techniques.

I went with NavTool and the camera. Video comes up on the NAV screen when you "demand" it or when you shift from reverse to Drive.

FWIW I put my curb alert UNDER the car. Basically just in front of that little air dam that's not supposed to be on dry-sump cars, if you know what I'm referring to.
I find that works pretty reliably, but it isn't perfect. Still, I haven't rammed my splitter yet and it's been a couple of years and 5000+ city miles and parking.

All I want to do is add the front mirror to help save a $2000 front splitter from damage.
