Any way to COMPLETELY hide a radar detector?

Unless you are extremely lucky, you might as well just pull over when your laser detector goes off because they probably already have you.
Of course one advantage is that they tend to be more lenient with the speeds when using laser. This is because the LEO operating the gun can't chase you (can't leave the gun behind) - he has another officer in a chase vehicle. That makes them tend to only go after the worst offenders. Keep your speed below 10-15 over and you probably won't be bothered.

It didnt cost near that much and made a real nice install.
Im not sure if bel still makes that one because I havent seen one in a while.

Just mount it there and then run the 12v wire along the front seem of your headliner...it looks clean. Why can't we all just drive the speed limit these days?? because i have a SS!! Im not spose to, nor are you other F-bodys or Vettes!!!
just something to think about.
