United Pacific 70203 Chrome Curb Feelers, Universal Fitment, Helps to Prevent Curb Damage, Curb Whiskers, Avoid Damaging Wheels - ONE Set (Pack of 2)

This item just added elegance to my old schoool whip.

positioning the things one SINGLE one on right front of the car and another single one on front left side of the car was troublesome. but not overly difficult. once installed they even that same day saved me from getting to close to curbs..wow. I notice many cars with nice wheels have gouges and scrapes on their wheels. some VERY deep..which can affect the wheel balance..so much material week by week getting grounded off! I did not bolt two together, and then install them as a set of two on each side of the car. I don't like that look and also I want to keep a set for back up incase these wear out or something. so far they work well enough as a single unit on each side of the car, and they are not so odd looking this way also. don't really like that whisker look LOL

For the hard-to-judge area near a curb or some other object you would like to avoid, once again this is a solution to that problem. Just listen for a scraping type of sound and you will know that you are close enough. I believe it is a must-have to save your tires from hitting the curb side.

I only had them for 2 day and 2 fell off not worth the money to loose them that fast.

They break so easily. You have to keep an extra set to replace with because they break so easily!!

PSA: you should add loctite (I used 242) if you want them to stay on your car. Install would have been easy enough but I wanted to mount them on the front tire well and wanted them to stick out more so I went to ace hardware and built a bracket that fit my Honda Fit better (where my missing fender liners should be). I’ll probably add another small bracket to extend them a few more inches but I really love the look.

I like these curb feelings because we have "run flat" tires on our car. The aluminum wheels line up directly with the tire. When parking near a curb, I've gotten too close and put gouges in the wheels. The curb feelers helps prevent getting too close to the curb because they make a scratching sound if I do. Back in the 50's & '60's the curb feelers were used on classic cars to prevent messing up the white walls by getting too close to the curb. I think they made a louder sound on those cars because they were made of metal (the cars) and the cars of today are made of fiberglass so they don't make as much of a sound. I have to turn the radio off so I can hear the curb feelers making that scratching sound.

Look really cool on my 63 galaxie convertible, been wanting these for awhile
