Curb Alert Front Bumper Protection System

Introducing the cure for the common curb, the Curb Alert. 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 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.

Features:
- Universal Mount (All Makes and Models)
- Warns with an audible alarm before striking a curb that could damage your front bumper and/or spoiler.
- Prevents embarrassing parking lot moments and sounds when your bumper or front spoiler hits a curb.
- Sensor can mount in a discrete manner in the front end of most any vehicle and does not require any drilling.
- Advanced infra-red triangulation technology and specialized software embedded for reliable operation.
- Warning distance is adjustable from 8-28 inches. (Bumper to curb)
- Removable when necessary with out leaving any holes as evidence.
- Automatic power-up on vehicle ignition; never a battery drain.
- Alert sound volume can be set to High, Low, or Mute inside vehicle.
- Installation kit includes installation procedures, all wiring, wire ties, sensor calibration procedures, and user guide.

This is not one of those gimmicky products, we have installed it on a Corvette C6 Z06, Nissan GTR, BMW 335i, 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 their lack of familiarity with judging the curb distance when parking).

Hello Glen,

May I ask which one you ended up getting for this? I remember there being another thread a while ago where you said the particular version you got, but I'm just too lazy to go find it right now.

If not for members of this forum like Glen e, Tiger Camaro and Bruce L, this device would still be in a box in my garage. For those like me who rely on clear instructional manual, YouTube and other visual aids, this product and online support sucks. Don't follow their posted video to install in a "2010 or newer" Camaro in your 2016. You have to cut the wire they claim was made especially for Camaro and splice with the inline fuse wire. You connect the wires to the one of the open terminals adjacent to your battery under the hood, but not to a fuse box inside your car as shown in the video n their website. To PFYC, I know it takes effort to update videos on one's website but you falsely give the mechanically challenged Camaro owners like me the impression it a straight forward, simple install when it's not. Also, it would be nice to get a reply to emails sent via your live chat, which I never found to be live. Like I said, without the members of this forum, I wouldn't have been able to install. The device works as advertised but I still need to tweak it a bit.

I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our customer support and with your curb alert install. I am in the process of picking up the pieces left by the guy who was supposed to be taking care of phone calls,e-mails and live chat. We can only use the information our suppliers give us on how their product installs or works. We will get with them to correct the problems with this product and make it a true bolt in.

Again my apologies for your frustrations.
