Be very, very careful. I'm calling it now. Your 35.5 detection will be almost nonexistent with your radar antenna mounted behind that honeycomb grill. Make sure you are running your V1 along with the 9500ci until I'm proven right. :D

I was wondering about that too.. that's the same spot he ran the SRX tho.. maybe 35.5 isn't a threat in IL. I've been looking for an alternate grill for pontiac but that part of the car just doesn't seem to be huge interest, there are some mesh grills, but no slanted ones like the one on the bottom of the car :mad:Quote:

It's also subceptable to getting knocked out by deer. I may go with the sports apperance package grills later on, which are deeper and have the option of no honey comb, if this clear view stuff is proven.
trust me it is a threat here in IL, this is the only ka band frequency I have seen so far since I have been a 4 year rd owner.Quote:

Your one of a kind and better than me and if I'm saying that you can install it like they painted the mona lisa. Btw I think your next show car should be named Mona

^ Oh, man, now that's just not right. :pQuote:

But man, how long did you have to spend, breaking off all the icicles? :eek:
YCTD, I'm not sure what you're talking about being installed incorrectly. The laser jammers are temporary until I can jack up the car and adjust things with the LI in place. As for the radar head, I don't simply believe everything I read on the internet. I'll do my own testing, if there's a difference I'll remove the grill, but the radar head will be mounted there regardless. Based on the SRX, it performed better behind the grill higher than it did having an open view lower.
Fair enough. I think that's a healthy attitude. I look forward to seeing the results of your testing. Thank God that radar guns are a lot cheaper than laser guns!Quote:
