    Default Jammers needed for this car?

    Serious question from a newb. I'm thinking about getting Blinders for my sportscar. I've read that police usually target headlights because they reflect well. My car does not have reflective headlights, I don't run a front place, and there isn't much bumper to target. With few flat surfaces for police to target, are jammers really needed or can police target places like the car's hood.

    First of what type of sportscar do you have and what color is it. It doesn't matter if you don't have flat surfaces it will just take longer to get a reading. I would say for a sports car with a dark blue or black in color a m25 will do

    Even without headlights and front plate you're still going to want to use a jammer. The harder it is to get a reading the better!

    There is no car that is invisible to laser without an active laser jammer.

    Even Passive stealth technolgies (Black leather bra, VEIL, flip down head lights or removing front plate) do not make you invisible to a train lidar operator

    It sounds like the lack of reflective headlights and plate really won't make a difference. I guess I still have quite a bit to learn. Heck, I didn't know color could even be a factor.

    The car I posted about is a red Maserati. I posted a pic of the car's front end below but it sounds like jammers would be useful in my case.

    You need a jammer, my C6 Corvette is easily picked up by lidar at 2000' without jammers.

    Even a motorcycle can easily be picked up since the laser beam is relatively wide and can even be bigger than a small car at a long distance, I was getting reading on motorcycles freehand and my arm was shaky theirs no chance against a tripod with an experienced shooter.

    you could probly get decent coverage with the m25 and veil on headlight and fogs , riverrabbit got some good results off his m25 today.
