    Default Rear jammer mounting?

    How have others mounted their rear laser jammers?

    I am debating as to whether epoxy and horizontally mount to a hanging area above my license plate or perhaps something with using a rear license plate bracket.

    TIA.

    x2. That gives you the most flexibility and ease of adjustment. It is coincidentally the easiest method too. On some cars it can be a problem, if they have a weird LP light assembly or trunk release, but not too often.

    A lot of us use black licence plate frames on our rear plate just because it makes the jammer heads blend in better, and almost completely unnoticeable.

    ^ As of about two months ago, with the arrival of my replacement rear LPP head, I finally took the time to properly "tuck" the wiring for my LPP and the ZR4, so that they no longer route through the externally visible conduit.

    The LI heads to either side have been there, now, for nearly 2 years.

    Mounted with 3M Automotive Trim/Molding tape.

    As long as you pay proper attention to prepping the area, you'll be just fine.

    I mounted my rear LPP heads in a similar way to TSi+WRX ^ but with a different method of sticking them there.

    First I wrapped them very tightly in black electrical tape. Then I carefully cleaned the area under the overhang above the rear plate where I had planned to mount them and stuck a 1 inch square piece of black sticker on there.

    Then I got a hot glue gun and stuck the heads to the car using the black stickering under the trunk overhang as a means to protect the car's paint when I would be eventually removing them.

    Similarly, I had previously wrapped the LPP heads in black electrical tape to save the paintwork on them from the hot glue also and it would be a bloody hard job to scrape it off them (and the car) also.

    The only tricky bit is trying to align them properly before the hot glue goes off (which is fast) but once you get it right, they seem like they are welded on there.

    I used the same pattern . I wrapped both head Li in electrical
    tape . I pierced the rear buns above the bumper , there is plenty
    of space to fit a home made fitting that will hold the head .
    2 holes had to be drilled to let view the sensind /emitting .

    You see 2 eyes on each side , in the buns above the bmper.
    The buns are black plastic pieces that run from the bumper to the
    lights housing .

    Very interesting, brothers corkguykev and Eloi! Good ideas, both!

    ---

    To also clarify my post a bit:

    In my area, stealth is not an issue - that's why my LPP and ZR3 rear heads are so exposed.

    Even with there now not being an external conduit, these two items are still plainly highly visible, with my current setup. Although I have the capability to cut into either the bumper skin or the trunk's external trim panel (which is why I'm able to so easily route wiring - http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...nishPanel1.jpg , that panel detaches from the rest of the trunk proper), I am currently unwilling to do so)

    With the ZR3, it is simply mounted, via its standard bracket, to the bottom mounting holes of the license plate - which is through-and-through to a matched set of receiving holes in my trunk. I was lucky that this was a feature of my car, as it allows for good stability of that head, mounted as-such.

    The LPP head above the plate actually takes advantage of the plate as a secondary securing "device." The LPP bracket is bent at a near 90-degree angle so that the flat portion of the bracket is behind the plate. That portion is stuck to the exterior of the trunk, under the plate, via 3M Automotive Trim/Molding tape, which, with the plate laying overtop, makes this item as secure as any hard-mount.

    There's a hard rubber (a cut piece of suspension mount) "shim" above the LPP, to achieve level.

    Thanks. You are one the excellent asset to this community .

    I would post piscs but feel paranoid to let the other side
    learn too much of our tricks . Wish we have a ''special section''
    truely away for the other's side eyes ...

    What do you do with 3 jammer systems? I thought you could only run one to jam concurrently, and others on recieve?
