    Default Getting white car...Am I screwed?

    Replacing my black, no front plate, black grill, M20 installed Cadillac CTS.

    This car was invisible. We tested it. And I never received a laser ticket!

    I am getting a 2009 Infiniti G37 and the only manual trans RWD one I can find is...

    WHITE...

    UGH.

    So I assume the M20 is not going to work. Will the new blinder overcome the color?

    Thanks!

    Time to upgrade ypur system I would throw the m20 on the rear and get a m27 for the front of your car

    Do you have a picture of the front of the Infiniti? Does it have the laser assist cruise control system? If so that may be a problem for you as well.

    The M27 may be enough, there just not enough testing that has been done to say for sure. It's a step up from the M20 for sure. My personal opinion is that it will if there's not a big chrome grill or something else that makes a huge lidar reflector.

    The M27 has yet to be compared directly to the LI dual, but that's coming this weekend. After that at least we will have some head to head comparison data.

    Here is common sense...

    Just buy the best and don't worry about the color of your vehicle. LI.

    M27 has been tested against the LI dual (http://jammertestgang.com/SF/SF%20re...20R%20.xls.pdf), just in EU that is.

    Word to the wise, you may not want to get the laser guided cruise control, or you may not be able to run a RD without it going bonkers.

    OK, thanks for the input so far...sounds like the upcoming test will be telling.

    FYI, no laser cruise control for me - I rarely even use regular cruise.

    you are not screwed. You will have to upgrade your current jammer system to either the M27 or LI dual. This is what your install should look like:

    Well I did find time today to shoot the M27 on the rear of the F-150 with my PL3. It was 100% JFG!!! I was shocked that 2 heads could protect the rear of this big a vehicle.

    Granted is was a PL3 and I was shooting freehand but I could not find a weak spot in 3 passes.

    Great....Thanks...But I gotta get a few more posts before I can view your pics!

    Anyway picked up my car couple weeks ago. Gonna need a new jammer for sure as it is much faster than my CTS was. Probably gonna go LI.
