ATB Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 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: http://www.540i6.com/v1.html There's also been other "enclosure" installations: http://www.talktax.com/lidatek-V1%20install/ http://www.radardetector.net/viewtopic.php?t=13024&highlight But going back to your original concern - this is probably the most easily had, pre-made, product: http://www.radarbusters.com/radar-detector-accessories/other-accessories/radardetectorcover.cfm 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. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 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...... <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
