    Default New Daily Driver, need opinions on head placement

    So I picked up a new daily driver a couple weeks ago, a bone stock 1998 VW Gti, while installing my suspension i went ahead and installed the blinders from my last DD and hardwired an RX 65 into it, just wanted to get some opinions on the location of the heads

    -Green = Blinders
    -Red = RX65



    Thanks

    You don't use a front plate?

    The M20 placement looks fine. But your car's lidar signature is very high. I would put 2 more heads on it.

    Theres a chance they can get punch through on the headlights so I would have to agree with putting 2 more heads up front in the center grill to cover the headlights.

    I was considering that, but I think I may just end up getting a LPP, the whole blinder start up thing is really starting to annoy me, i figured this should be enough to allow me to get to the PSL before PT, I guess i'll have to shoot the car later with the Newcon to get a ball park idea

    Is there room to mount them in the grill area, one on each side between the emblem and headlights? bottom slot.

    I'm thinking since they'll more than likely start with a CM shot, you should have better protection and give you more time to slow.

    that or consider 2 more heads like others said, or wait for the LPP if you choose.
    I agree though, test it and see how it does.
