    He's in DFW, so I know at least 10 member owned guns down there. Someone can help him out.

    The Blinder heads are larger than the LI's, especially the LI rear slim heads.
    Valentine One (3.858 Ice Cream Truck, 3.812 in Vette)
    4 Head LI (On Vette) (7.11 CPU Regular heads front, HP Heads on the rear)
    9500ci (On Vette)

    LI Quad (On Ice Cream Truck)

    LI Dual (On SRX, 7.06 CPU)

    ProLaser II, ProLaser III, Stalker LZ-1, LTI Marksman & Laser Atlanta "R" (looking for an Ultralyte LRB)

    2008 Corvette Z-51 Coupe

    Escort 9500 ix (Cadillac SRX)

    For the OP, please come to one of our Laser jammer event, and decide from there...

    Yeah, you'll find little sympathy here for Porsche drivers who haggle over two hundred dollars, which is less than the cost of one speeding ticket. Time to get real.

    That said, from the results we have seen so far with the Mx7 series Blinders, I feel relatively confident that two heads would protect your front end completely. The great thing about the Cayman is the small headlights, which make off axis shots less of a risk.

    On the rear, two Blinder heads should also do well, but only if you don't puss out on placement because you're too hung up on looks. Most Porsche drivers are. If you are, you'll need an LI to protect the rear.

    We have another Cayman driver in Arlington who, as mentioned earlier, is JTG/JFG against everything with 3 LI heads. He would probably be happy to answer any installation specific questions for you.

    I own every gun used in DFW, and will be happy to test your set-up out at your convenience.

    Thanks a lot for the advice guys I really appreciate it. I'm just going to go ahead and decide. As for the placement and whether or not I will place them where they should go I don't think I'll get too caught up on that since if I did buy either one of those I'd be spending quite a bit of money. I appreciate the advice to get together with someone that has an actual gun to make sure I have appropriate placement. I think that would definitely be of great help.

    I think I've got enough info as to what system would give appropriate coverage. Does anyone know where I could get them installed and the price for that? I have 2 guys that have done some hardcore electrical stuff for a friend of mine with the same car but have yet to contact them to ask what they'd be willing to do it for, I'd just like to have an idea ahead of time what I'm going to be looking to spend on that.

    If you want to let someone install the system, I'd suggest that either you install the heads yourself in the exact location you want or you provide explicit instructions. The heads will need to be high enough, far enough apart, level, square to each other and point straight ahead. The shop that installed mine was clueless with installing the heads (down low and recessed). They did well on the interior components, but I redid the heads myself. Actually looking back, I should have done the whole thing.

    Stealth.. I can't speak for Texas.. but here in MA.. it's the insurance surcharge that can increase your rates for multiple years that really hurts.. NOT the speeding ticket itself.

    BTW. I'll offer my sympathy to anyone (no matter what car they drive) for a speeding ticket received in any amount of $$$.

    Troy is in MA? I thought it was down by Waco.

    But you're exactly right. It's the insurance sting that really hurts!

    Actually a Carrera C4S not a Cayman but the frontal section is pretty close to the same.

    Laser Jammer install for those interested - Rennlist Discussion Forums

    Thanks SS for your testing a while back!

    My latest install is on the new addition to the garage, a Cayenne Turbo S and that install should be complete in a couple of weeks. Going to do pretty much the same as the 997 except will use two heads up front and two in the back, LI of course. (Great support from Cliff at LI)

    SS- would like to have you test when I'm finished.

    Now that's funny. If you knew my situation, you'd understand why I am laughing extremely hard.... ask me privately and I'll be happy to fill in the details.

    Nice job on that install! I've been doing a lot of reading and looking at different diagrams and pictures and I'm thinking that I may try to install it myself, it really doesn't seem so bad. However, maybe i can call the guy and ask him if he can be on standby that day just in case...lol.
