Curb alarm but maybe unusable
I put a curb alarm (or call it proximity alert) because the snout on this thing is so low. I figured the $300 it set me back was a lot less than one trip into a parking-lot barrier. It beeps when I get within about a foot of a curb, but ironically it's so low it bottoms when I go through even a slight dip. It only extends a little more than ½ inch below the bumper, but that may be too much. I'm trying to figure out if I can mount it somewhere else, but they apparently don't work well if they're higher on the car.

Pics? What are the dimensions of this device?
Could it be poked through one of the holes in the grill rather than under the lip?
