Default Curb Alert

Anyone interested in installing this on 3IS to prevent front bumper curb damage? I'm always cautious about scraping my front bumper when parking since it's kind of low and most parking blocks are too tall. It looks somewhat straight forward.

Looks interesting. I wonder if it can be an alternative to park assist.

Here is another one but this one is for parking assist, looks more complicated to install.

I've been thinking about this more and more since my wife is the primary driver. I found a pro version which is a little smaller on amazon for about 150. I'm just not sure where i would place it. Thoughts anyone?

I have the same one. I placed the sensor under the bumper, if you put further back you would not scrape it on steep drive way. It's the only place to mount it if your car is F-sport. I installed it a few weeks ago works like a charm.
