Where to Mount Blinder M-20?

I've been doing my research here, and I'm trying to figure out the best location to mount the M-20 on my Mazda Protege5. I'll be buying the laser shield and veil also (and I might be removing my foglights if I can find nice replacement grilles for those holes). It looks like I don't have a place to mount the transceivers that isn't behind the mesh. Where do you think I should put them? I was thinking maybe I should cut out two rectangles in the mesh for where the blinders would stick through in the highlighted areas below. Any ideas?

Thanks!

We just put a install video online on our site, check out this page:

I like the videos. Very cool.

I think it will work fine even behind the mesh.
Your mesh doesn't seem to be too dense, and it will be protected.
You could get even a better protection if you put two trans' in the small openings under the fog lights and a third trans' in the middle of the upper triangle near the "P" of protege.

This is full coverage

You do not want to mount it behind the mesh. If you do, and they aim at the headlight you're toast.

Your best bet would be mounting in the grill area above the license plate. If you put a blinder in each corner you would have good coverage on both your head lights and plate.

I found out that driving with head lights turned on, does wonders on the LTI2020 !
It makes ir harder for the laser-gun to get a reading.

How did you "Find this out?" because this is an untrue statement. It USED to on older laser guns, however it does not have an effect on them anymore.

As I wrote, I tried it for many times with different cars and turning lights on, has a bad effect on the LTI 2020 laser gun.
I don't know about other guns.

I think I'm going to be mounting them like they are above. I'm going to cut the mesh to allow the jammer heads to come through a bit, and I'm also thinking of moving them a little farther apart closer to the ends of the bottom grille) so that they cover my headlights and foglights better.

The green install is good. Do not mount them behind the mesh grill. It's light, keep them straight and level as possible. Drive with less stress.

I just installed them today, bu they installed a little farther behind than I thought they would be. I cut out the mesh around the jammers, but is it still ok if they're a little behind the level of the mesh? I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow.

You usually want them to be flush with the mesh. This will affect preformance.

Are you planning on using VEIL for the headlights?

Ok, I'm going to try to make a bracket that extends them out a bit more. I also veil'd the headlights. If I dont end up removing the foglights in the next few days I'll also veil the foglights. Hoepfully the laser shield will arrive soon and I'll put that on over the front plate.

Thanks!
