Re-mounted STi pics - fixed suction cup issue

**yahtzee** · 09-09-2007, 05:08 PM

Had a custom cord made for my STi that included a mute button (no big module) and an LED to give a notification if music was loud. My only issue I had in the past was that the two suction cups could be very easily seen from outside (even from a short distance). I tried to paint them and you could still see them from the outside. I had a small tint line put in across the top of my windshield (5%) and voila! Problem solved. What do you think?

Looks good. How much did it cost to get that tint installed?

Looks really good! Is that an 07/08 BMW 3-series coupe (328i/335i)?

Damn.....close enough! Still very nice though! How has your STi performed so far? Mine should be here soon.

Hi Yatzee,

The tint strip looks like it does the job perfectly. Now that you've posted photos of your setup, it might be a good idea to remove your city info from your bio.

Looks good.... You may want to straighten it up a bit.
From the photo's it has a tilt to it.
However, I could be wrong, sometimes things look funny
from the angle the photo was taken at. You may have it
perfectly level. :wink:

Very nice install. Too bad the dash kits are not available for Beltronics as they are for V1's.

I always wondered why this is. Their has to be a ton more of Bels and escorts on the road.
