    Hi,
    I've been reading this board for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I've become a little addicted to it.

    I recently moved from OC, CA to Jax, FL because of a job opportunity and in the process I decided to change my car. Since I drive quite a bit more now I thought it would be a good time to purchase a detector (I think I'm set on the V1 after seeing so many happy stories) and in a month or so I'd like to purchase a dual LI setup for the front of the car for now (a couple of months later I'll be adding another dual to the back of the car).

    Are there any members in the area who could help me install the LI as well as test it (in exchange for a fee of course)?

    Here is a pic of the front and back of the car, it would be great if someone could mark the best mounting points.

    Thanks

    Welcome to the club. The V1 is great for me as is the X50. Plenty of FL people in here to help you out in your area.

    Thanks
    Me too, I follow this forum closely for some time. You may want to post your picture and question in the Laser Interceptor forum. I would say put the heads in the 2nd set of slats as wide and as close to the headlights as possible. Nice ride and great selection of countermeasures...

    There is no Laser Interceptor forum.

    I agree with the second or third grille slat. Probably best to put it on top the middle crosspiece, as taping it on top is more secure than hanging it from underneath. Easier to level too. That's pretty much like Cliff's car, so he can advise you further when you order.

    I am in Jax frequently and would be happy to help you test your install.

    Here is the install on my C55:






    OR a rear install for the faint of heart:

    I appreciate the warm welcome

    The front pic looks very nice, however I'm not too sure about the back since I'm afraid they will not last very long unfortunately. I was cruising a couple of days ago on 101 or whatever that highway is that goes parallel to the ocean and all of the sudden I hear something hit the car. I look to my left and the suv driving about a car length behind me makes an immediate left. It was dark and raining and all I could notice were four people in the car with the passenger window rolled down so I'm pretty sure they threw something towards me. Punks.

    Imagine having those heads sticking out, in less than a week they would most likely be gone.

    Laser-InterceptorUSA: I appreciate the offer to help me test the install, any idea what near by place I could take the car to for the wiring job? I don't want to go to the dealer since they might throw a fit about it. I still have about 25k miles of factory warranty so they may try to pull a fast one on me.

    Thanks for all the help and I can't wait to at least get the front done

    In regards to the V1 is valentine1 the v1 website (it looks a little outdated so was a little skeptical about giving them my cc )

    Any Automobile Stereo Installation Center at all familiar with Remote RADAR Detector and Laser Countermeasures installations can easily perform the installation for you.

    That's the place. Like the detector itself, the company and website are about function over flash.
