Default Veil Stealth

I just saw this video of a product called Veil Stealth. It's a product that you apply to your license plate, and lights to delay/absorb a laser radar. In this video that I saw, the radar gun couldn't get a reading on the vehicle at all (this was the only vehicle on the road). Have any of you heard of this product? I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to things like this, but if any of you know anything about it, I'd love to hear what you know. Also, I saw a short video of how to apply it. The demo was on a typical honda. It was only applied to the headlights. If any of you know anything about it, how would you apply this to a vette being that 1. our lights aren't displayed except at night, and 2. most of us don't use the front license plate...
Any input would be appreciated.

BTW, I did a search before adding this thread and came up with nothing (even in the electronics section)

Passport/escort sells a RADAR JAMMER/DETECTOR... that can be somewhat hidden.

Not cheap but, it is badass....and a near futrue mod. Goes in the front, and rear.

I have heard of what your talking about. I was wondering if it worked myself. Someone on here must have it.

So, what if you're not using a front license plate??? Can the radar still pick up a signal???

Yes. Laser relies on the light being reflected back where radar works outside the visible spectrum of light. Laser can still get you without a plate (or bumper) but it is more difficult. I've often read having a dark colored car, such as black, makes it even tougher because darker colors absorb the light resulting in a weaker signal. My best advice is to just watch your speed in unfamiliar areas and invest in a radar detector if you're going to speed. I have an escort 8500 x50 and it works great, saved my butt on many occasions. Valentine also makes a real nice one. If you go with an escort the laser jammer metioned above will plug right into the 8500 so only one display is needed. Be safe and save the wave.

be careful of these products and check your local laws. it is illegal to obstruct the view of your license plate in my state. i also doubt that it works but have never tried it i have seen cars with plastic shields on their tags and k band still picked them up but i know radar and laser are different. good luck just my $.02
