    Default just another newbie looking for advice

    Well just want to say hello to everyone. Now down to business I already have a Escort x50 rev 5 hardwired and now want to add laser protection. I have limited my selection to a laser interceptor jammer and a cheetah C100 for fixed camera locations. Now I was also debating to just get a escort 9500ci and laser veil coating. What is the best option? This will be going on a 06 Honda Accord EX.
    Thanks in Advance!

    Wow, tough choice. I personally would go with the 9500ci + Veil over the X50, C100, LI combo, but it's very close. My 9500ci + Veil is very good against everything but Stalker laser. My LIs jam everything under the sun. I say the radar advantage of the 9500ci over the X50 is more than the laser advantage of the LI over the ZR4s + Veil.

    x2, I would lean towards 9500CI to upgrade the RD at the same time.. but def. a very tough choice.

    good call. I would recommend taking your head lights off the car before you apply VEIL though. Do it in a nice dry, warm environment and let it setup for 24 hours. If your on the stock headlights you might want to upgrade those as well, to compensate for VEIL reducing visibility.

    And, if you have the cash or know someone in the auto paint business, I would recommend that you have it professionally done by a paint shop.

    I do know somebody in the auto paint business that can help me put the veil coating on my headlights.
