Like we said in wood-shop class, "measure twice, cut once". Just park short. Car is little. All good.

Don't care much about my DD (BMW X3) to spend time doing this... Mulch, 2x4's, plants, kayaks, rockets, etc...

Do what LexVan says, just park a few inches from the curb.

These strips won't help if you hit the curb hard.

Just a side note. If your proctologist's car has rimsavers in the parking lot, it's time to find a new doctor.

You can adjust the tilt down location of the passenger mirror to watch where the wheel is relative to the curb while in reverse. Easy to avoid curb rash.

Just add some curb feelers to the rim blades and you'll be set.

If you scrape your wheel along a curb, rim savers aren't going to help. They'll be torn off of the wheel and you'll still end up with a scratched wheel.

Agree. What a horrible idea and it’s crazy that someone actually put this on the market.

Depth perception is key.

I like this idea some spinners on the 545 would be dope (that means cool for you more mature folks).

Looks like something a Corvette owner would buy.

If you do this we will have to take your pass key away. These do not belong on a $100 k + sports car. Spend the money on driving lessons.
