I started out 18" away, and have gradually moved closer. I know i'm pushing my luck, and someday I'll have to fork over the $150 for a new slitter.

Why would you chance it? Back in with the camera.

I keep a piece of wood on the garage floor to act as a wheel chock. I roll in slowly, and when I touch it, I know I
'm in exactly the right spot.

Actually I purchased a spare splitter the day my car arrived at the dealership.

I purchased a spare cause I figured when my dad takes the car out at some point he’ll likely peel it off. But I think he’s scared to drive the car. He has only pulled it out of the driveway and stalled it on the street

Hasn’t even taken it for a ride yet.

Yep, if there is a curb, I back in everytime! No curb, no problem.

laynlo15 · 08-11-2019, 05:23 PM

This is too easy, back in

Anyone using a Curb alert?

Camaro_QC · 08-11-2019, 06:00 PM

With my Tiburon I have fun trying to go as close as I can. But not with the Camaro haha.

Can't find the picture but I once tried to park as close to my dad's truck and ended up like a 1/4 from the hitch. Every time I was moving forward I was expecting to hit something haha.

Found it! Didn't touched anything or backed up afterwards.

I had one but never fully trusted it. Occasionally it would false and go off just driving down the road Eventually it just stopped all together and after unsuccessfully figuring out what was wrong with it I just decided to remove it. Overall I personally found it was a bit tricky to calibrate and get setup out of the box accurately and then it ended up dying on me anyway.

There’s also a nice Rydeen 360 3D system (which I added as well) that gives you a 360 view of your car. Can also switch modes to check blind spots when turning in tight circles

Just to confirm, you have this front camera setup: https://navtv.com/products/NTV-KIT62...-8-screen.html

Any glitches with the system or it works exactly as advertised? It's pricey ($399), but that's really nice to have a front view!

I always end up like 5 feet away from the curb! haha

I have this in my garage which is a very tight fit lengthwise due to big steel shelves, but I’m also parking over a low rise Bendpak lift so I have to be perfectly aligned left and right side. The dual laser dots are set to be at the center edge of each gauge cluster oval when I’m parked right. Motion activated which is nice, works great for $35.

I back into the garage and put an X on the wall beside me and when I am even with it, my person, I stop. Works perfect

This is why I NEVER!!! let someone park on the other side of me. This is the idiot at work. I always park far away from people, in the corner somewhere.

I cannot believe people just go until they hit the other car. Even worse, they left it that way.
