Who has aradar detector and how is it mounted
So im asauming a bit here but im sure a good number of you have radar detectors right? How do you have it mounted besides on the windshield, im trying to get some stealthmount ideas, but ill post my idea here to see what you think and to get pics o how youve mounted yours
My idea:
Take a piece of mirrored plexi to replace the rearview mirror with and in the bottom center ill drill 5 holes almosr all the way theough and glue leds in them and wire them down into the dash where ill mount the detector so in theory you will only see the leds when they are on

Re: Who has aradar detector and how is it mounted
if i dont get one with the remote mount sensors that go on the bumper, ill mount it in a waterproof box of sorts under the bumper somewhere that it can still have a relatively clear line of sigght to the front and the back of the car
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Who has aradar detector and how is it mounted
I've got one hardwired in my lowrider, mounted to the ceiling above the mirror, bracket attached to the RV mirror mount screws. Black tape over the lights for stealth.
It's old school. It can find the front door of every Walmart around. I don't drive fast enough to really need one anymore, I've paid my fair share of donations to the county and state already.

Re: Who has aradar detector and how is it mounted
When I use to have mine I use to mount it in two places. Right above the rearview mirror or just sitting on the dash all the way to the front as possible. I've seen people put it right on the middle of the windshield.
Just don't speed. If you do, do it on daylight. You can see "them" ahead of time.
