    Default LI finally installed

    Went to my buddy's shop to visit and decided to install my LI's real quick (only took 45min), very easy to install. Ill take some pictures tomorrow.
    Its a bit unconventional because i have the ZR4 shifters in the lower part of the grill and my M3 antenna and 2 LI heads in the upper part of the grill. So my Right head (facing car) is slightly farther away from my head light than my Left.
    Ill get it tested and see how it does and adjust if necessary.

    Some pictures:

    Ill be tweaking them when the weather is warmer, but im interested to see there performance with the slightly off set positions. ZR4's did well so I would assume the LI's will do even better.
    Just hope my car doesn't overheat in the summer. lol

    Why dont you move the M3 attenna to where the right head is, and vice versa? What part of the grill did u mount the LI's too?

    X2. If that doesn't work then move the 9500ci to the bottom grill. You spent the money on LIs, don't install it poorly...

    Yeah. Placement is more critical for the LI head, than the 9500ci antenna.

    The antenna wont fit where the LI is. I originally tried that with the antenna and it stuck out 4" because of a bracket behind there. I may need to move the antenna completely from there and put it in the lower grill and move the Zr4's.

    However the placement is very close to how my ZR4's were, and they did fine. So i would assume the LI's would do better.

    Exactly.
    That's relative to performance, if i JTG with this set up why move it really? The LI's are spaced about the same as my ZR4's are, and the LI's are supposed to be much much better.

    If the LI's cant preform as good as my ZR'4's where they are at least i got a really good deal on them.

    I understand your logic but why not install the LI properly so that you have a better chance of achieving JTG when you test? Having a better laser jammer system that is not optimally installed doesn't mean you will get better results than a properly installed inferior jammer system. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the LIs did worse on your driver's side headlight than your ZR4s or if the shooter starts doing "ELVATO style" shots on the driver side part of your vehicle.

    Plus, you'll be testing with radarrob right? If so, you and I both know that the install needs to be near perfect if you want to survive against him.
