Default Electronic Front spoiler curb protection

my front bumper is off and have access to everything inside and outside my car.
im planning on buying a brand new front spoiler in the end.

was looking for options on curb detection systems. I thought about front parking sensors or a camera, then came across this when i googled “front spoiler protection” instead of bumper.

input or ideas

Just do what others do and install a laser jammer. They function as a curb detector in most cases now and are sold as such to get around some states laws

Back into the parking places. The rear bumpers clear the parking curb height and you'll be ready for a faster getaway. 4 of my 7 cars won't clear a parking curb so I've gotten used to parking 6" away from the parking curb or backing in. Seems like it's a bit unneccesary and just adds wiring to the car, but if you have trouble judging the front position of your car relative to the curb, then sure, why not?

How about the front - "see through hood/engine" camera in the new land rover https://www.landrover.com/liveforthe...ht-ground-view ?

That would be cool!

I have the Brandmotion sensor and alarm on my cars and think it is worth every penny.

I just know I'm good when the curb lines up with the bottom of the wing mirrors. But it will vary depending on your eye height, of course.
