Default Cure for the Common Curb...

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.



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

We also just added a C5 Install video and a custom package for the C5 to make installation a breeze.

You can checkout the video here. Video is at the bottom of the page.

If you want to order, just choose the C5 package on the drop down menu.

I have a1999 C5 which is lowered to the bushings up front and has the Fat Daddy rollers installed on the radiator supports.

I am very interested in this curb alert product but am wondering if there is a suggested mounting spot for my C5 as described?

In addition, after watching the install video I did not really understand how/where the speaker is attached up under the dash on the passenger side.

Your thoughts on these questions are appreciated.

Thanks

You might have to move the sensor to up to the front of the car, but without seeing you car in person it is hard to tell. There are a bunch of places you position it on the C5, just a blend of functionality with appearance.

The speaker can be mounted anywhere in the cockpit....It simply mounts with double sided tape, so anywhere under the dash or footwell is perfectly fine.

Thanks,

Jim

The "cure" is more careful driving and paying attention to what you are doing, any device will fail if driver isn't careful.
