Has anyone ever seen a V1 enclosure?

To make it a bit more stealthly, I figure enclosing it in a case with clear/smoked plastic in the front and back would be a great idea. Has anyone ever made or seen such a thing?

That's definitely gonna affect laser-detection (even "clear" plastic), but if that isn't a concern for you, then yes, it's technically possible.

 

There's even been "within headliner" installs of the V1 - for example:

There's also been other "enclosure" installations:

But going back to your original concern - this is probably the most easily had, pre-made, product:

Note, though, that although you will reduce the visual signature of this detector, it will still very much be detectable via the Spectre radar-detector detector. So far, the only known defeat of the Spectre is the Bel STi-Driver (and STi-R, which should become available, retail, stateside, within the next quarter). There used to be a full-stealth/cloak modification of the V1 available (Roy Zegers's creation, out of Australia, I think), but I am not sure if it is still on the market - it's definitely pricy.

Thanks for the info.

 

Understood that it will be electronically detectable.I only plan to have it turned on in states where detectors are legal. Aka when I am driving down to VA I'll switch it off when I cross the border, but I don't want to worry about taking it down while driving

Cool beans!

 

No problem. Glad to help.

 

And in that vein, please note that the commercial enclosure noted is molded around the detector, so it's definitely going to be noticeable......
