Curb Alert Installed

[CCO]

Saw Manny and the gang this morning for a curb alert install. Great visit and as usual professional install.
Judging distance from curbs is so difficult on these cars. No more guesswork with this little baby.
Well worth the investment......(bought from our friends at Corvette Central)

Cheers Manny and thanks.

Cool! Embarrassingly, I've pulled up to curbs thinking I was a foot away only to see the nose of my car a few inches past the curb. That makes you feel like a little less awesome. This unit would be great as I am now a good foot from curbs.

My only question is, how does it work on angled parking where the curb is straight?

This unit is designed for straight on parking to curbs/walls/obstructions. Won't work on angles, but 99% of my parking is straight onto curbs.

I had looked at the curb alert system, but instead decided on installing a front camera on top of the front air dam. Less than $60.00 invested on install of camera and monitor on the driverside sunvisor.

I must say a cam system is more attractive. Visual is better than auditory.

I am sure it will get the job done, looks great.
Since I have the Boyo backup camera already installed just above the back license plate
between the rear plate lights I am going to add this small mini camera to the front for
some spoiler protection. It has a Sony 1/3 ccd sensor and can be adjusted 360deg and vertical.
Will put in a switch so I can toggle back and forth between them.

Very nice. I'd love to have cams in mine. It's on my list.

Ohhhhhh camera cams, I was thinking engine cams! (Even though we only have one)

That's what I get for reading the last post post first!

I have been thinking of a backup camera but am not sure where one would install the screen on the dash. Any thoughts and pics would be helpful. Also Not2Melo, do you have a pic showing the installation of the front camera? thanks.
