^ +1.

Too much chrome in the wrong places - that's my take.

The vehicle is wide - and that places a lot of physical space between the headlights/foglights and center-mass. This could likely cause a violation of "the 18-inch rule," which can only, so far, be bypassed via use of laser-diode (CLED) based jammers.

Seating, take a breather.

Don't get rushed into this purchase.

Having such a deadline hanging over your head will not help you make the proper decision.

The GOL's official as well as unofficial results both pointed to a weakness of the ZR4 with respect to the Ultralytes (thanks, ELVATO, for pointing out his area of residence! ), which is something that, even if you decided to use VEIL to supplement the ZR4, you'd still have a hole in your defense, versus the likely more common 125 PPS version of this device.

I would be very, very hesitant to use the ZR4.

Although I agree with ELVATO, in that in most real-world circumstances, you'd likely have enough time to slow-to-reasonable/PSL, remember, this is a game of odds.

All it takes is one PT to ruin your day with the ticket, plus years on your driving record and insurance premiums.

If you like those odds, play them.

I wouldn't.

Yes, a "better" jammer, overall, is definitely a more expensive proposition, initially. But seeing it as an investment down-the-road will paint a different picture.

I'd recommend that you do without a jammer for now, and take the next few weeks to truly explore your options in-depth, and do some homework/research, before committing.

What would you suggest I get then? The installer has already ordered the ZR4 and I am getting it installed today.

Should I replace the chrome grill?

Is it possible to install a "second" laser jammer system to my car down the road?

Thanks.

Yea, you could run two jammers on the same car. Heck, there's some people here running 3+ systems on the front only.

The LI is the best performer in tests, so I'd say that's the best one out right now.

I can get the quad laser interceptor for 975.00.

Should I return the Zr4 and get this?

Thanks.

Sounds like a good deal, but at that price I'm assuming you're not buying from C55,the LI USA Rep. That said, is a $250 savings worth the future headaches of possibly having to send the LI to Croatia for warranty or updating? I say do it right and save yourself $$$ and hassles in the long run and buy the LI from Cliff.

Definitely return the ZR4 if you still can.

I highly discourage you from getting a LI from anyone other than Cliff. He is the only authorized LI dealer in the US and updates happen often on systems like this. Also, any problem with your system and you will have to ship the bad part to Croatia and deal with their unscrupulous customs.
