New guy - Zip

[zip]

Hi everyone! New guy . . . Zip here. I was so happy with my 9500ix that I am awaiting the delivery of my 9600ci to put in my Porsche. To celebrate, I veiled my headlights, foglights, and black plastic air flow guides behind the grill ,as well as the grill vanes themselves (waste of Veil?)!

The ix will end up in my wife's car!

I have downloaded every Porsche install with pics that I could find online and have gotten a lot of good ideas. I am also thinking of mounting the dual ci heads in the rear, buying Blinder M27 heads (or maybe LI) for use in the front along with the rear ci head (center of mass mount). The one concern I have with mixing different heads is that it may actually lessen the effectiveness of one or both systems. I read in one forum (this one?) that mounting the rear ci head up front with the other two ci heads actually degraded the effectiveness of the system since the front and rear heads are not synched/phased to fire together. Any thoughts?

A lot of questions I know, but I haven't gotten to my requesite number of posts to ask in other forums yet!!!

With a dual LI on the front, you'd pretty well be covered without the Veil. But there's no such thing as overkill, so it's never a waste of money. If all you have is the ZR4, then you'll definitely need veil to get even marginal performance.

The CI head would be completely unnecessary, and quite possibly detrimental to the set-up.

Most have not experienced this, however it does happen. It is dependent upon how your system is installed, and you won't know until you install and test it. It's generally not recommended unless you have access to LIDAR guns for extensive testing.

The rear of many vehicles is harder to protect than the front. Your safest bet would be to just get a quad LI and cover both ends.

Good luck!
