STi positioning

[bonecrusher]

guys , i want to position my STi low down , centre front on my dash board , there is a speaker grill there that comes out and the STi fits 100% perfect and snug right in there , the only problem is the STi`s front is half blocked by the black part of the screen that runs right around the whole windshield , i cant lift the STi up due to the windshields angle coming back

is it a major issue ??? am i right in thinking it wont affect radar detection but will affect laser , but then laser detection is almost useless anyways as by the time its alerted your tagged

whats your thoughts please

My Sti fits nicely in my trunk but I dont keep it there. :wink:

The only way I would mount the way you describe would be if I had a jammer. Throwing in the towel on laser protection doesnt make sense. From personal experience I have been saved by my Sti picking the laser shot from the vehicle in front of me.

hmm ok mate

the reason i am keen on sighting it in the described location is that the UK is due to outlaw all detectors later this year , with a slight mod of the speaker grill and some small plastic sidewalls made up , it can completely hide the STi from prying eyes :wink:

grrr , i hate that black band round the shield :x

I also live in a illegal jurisdiction and find a hardwire visor mount to be very stealthy

hardwire is this weekend , it only arrived to me from the US 2 days ago and i had already planned in my head to locate it there , its neat and cant be seen , the UK has smaller cars and a visor mount isnt realy what i want plus i use both visors this time of year as the Sun is low here

oh well , i`m gona get it in that position somehow , i may have to do some work on the housing if i have to lift it slightly to give it a clear shot of the front but i`m not giving in

good advice on not giving up on the laser though .... jammers are very illegal in the UK so i wont be adding them later this year at all :wink:
