The long hood and low front lip makes it difficult to get close to a curb without hitting it. I'm considering installing a parking sensor system like this http://pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?brand=...ms&model=PLPSE6Pyle Parking Sensor. Anyone have any experience with these?

 

Too much money for something like that. Why not just a "curb feeler" jutting out 3-4 inches from the middle underside of your bumper. These would probably sell for under $5 a pair.

 

link to this curb feeler?

 

They look like stubby heavy duty screen door springs. Check at your local truck stop or parts store.

 

Now you got me. You might recall seeing these on 50'-60's sedans and were used to signal the driver the location of the curb when paralell parking. It was just a chrome wire connected to the fender which gave off a very audible scraping sound on contact. A junk yard maybe, but you could probably just as easy fabricate from an old whip anntaena or something simular.

 

JackS we might be showing our age a little bit!

 

You got that right.

 

When is the last time you saw a set of curb feelers on a car?
