    Default RX45 with shifters installed

    Here is my install of the RX45 with laser shifters on a 2010 Camaro... Please critique and feel free to comment on good, bad, ugly, receiver and shifter placement....

    Prepare to take some heat. It looks like they are toed out and maybe a little recessed. You want them pointing straight and level as possible. Those are the first two problems.

    Thanks!!

    They are as level as i can get them but may be bowed outward a bit... It's really hard to tell with the slop / angle of the Camaro grille....

    The shifter brackets are mounted with 3M tape so adjusting the toe is no problem... I really can't get them any further out (forward) than they already are... I tried the lower grille area, and now the upper grille area...

    Edit to add: I am not showing off my install because I think it's great... I am looking for solutions / better mounting options...

    Again, thanks@!

    X2 They look extremely toed out which will kill their performance. Get them straightened out.

    Location is fine. You put the jammer heads closest to the most reflective parts of your vehicle, the headlights. After you get everything straightened out, you should get your setup tested. Where are you located?

    The odd part is they check out nice and level (with a bubble) and appear to be straight with a ruler or when I look down at them from above...

    Any other trick to get them toe'd in correctly??

    Again, thanks for the help!

    I think those shifters "may" have a decent shot at protecting that front end at +1,000ft. I wouldn't want to be caught driving +10 over at ambush style shooting <500ft.

    Is it just me or is the display module in the wide open totally defeating any stealth?
