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... 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.

Thanks,

Jim

Mines in the box in the car... Almost got the curb at the shipping store earlier today. Thought that would be kinda ironic.

Looks like I have a project in the morning.

Very happy with my order. Fast shipping, easy install with video, and works great. Thanks for a great product, and I really appreciate the fast shipping since I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve every time I order something new.

Yes, you do not have to use the seat heater fuse, any 20amp fuse slot will work. Whatever fuse you pull out, just put that fuse in the other slot of the Curb Alert Fuse tap. Everything will work just as it did before.

Thanks,

Jim

Just so not to confuse everyone because this thread is about the Curb Alert and your question is in reference to the Stealthlink...

Yes it is....you would just order the SAE-2 connector.

Price is 77.50 for the Charger Stealthlink and about 5-7 bucks for shipping....

Whoever has these fears, fear not. It is super easy to install. Took me just a little over 30 minutes. I watched the video 3 or 4 times to memorize everything and the install went smoothly. Great product.

Corvette Curb Alert

This is a Southern Car Parts exclusive Corvette Curb Alert package for that has everything crimped and ready to go. Run the wires and plug it in to the fuse box under the passenger floor board and you are off and running.

Just select the Corvette Specific Package when checking out and we will "pre-stage" everything for you prior to shipping so you can install it exactly like in the video.

Video is down towards the bottom of the page....

How does the install differ for the c6 z06 compared to the base c6?

It does not. They power comes from the fuse box.

Great product from a superb vendor. Got one two weeks ago, 4 days after placing order.

Install was a breeze thanks to the video on their website, AND the YouTube video "calibrating Curb Alert".

Thanks!
