no one maskes one that is that small. now maybe with a concealed display like the one in the valentine 1 or the one that escort makes you might be able to fit it in there with no problems.

out of the 2 i think the escort will fit since the valentine1 concealed is shaped like a rectangle.

Hmm I don't know how stealth of a look you want, but as far as I know 5-0 gives people crap if you have guages on A pillar.

A radar detector on there is even more inviting.

If you just want a clean install, look into escort/passport.
They have new designs that are attached to rear view mirrors or come as a rear view mirror with the radar detector installed under it.

5 years ago I emailed V1 with the gauge pod concealed display, and they thought it was a great idea and would pass it on to their engineering dept.

I guess that dept didnt think it was such a great idea afterall.
Hey, I tried!
