Ok, in VA radar detectors are illegal. However I want to get one anyways =P What I was thinking is that I would attach it to power via the one of the power wires going to the bulbs in the front overhead area. That way there would already be a 'Lamp' switch for it. But then it would turn on w/ the doors opening/closing... hmm... Maybe I'll have two switches for it... but anyways.
Ok, here is where I need the most help... How to mount it and will it fit? This is where I want to mount it.
This isn't my ex...
This is though:
Here are some pics of it mounted on other vehicles:
I would need to make an enclosure for it, so that it would just look like a black lump when just sitting there. Excuse the ghettorific diagram... I am not the artistic type.
I'd want to put a decoy on the box, so that if a cop said "what is that?" I can flip a switch on it, and it will light up or do something to give the box a purpose other then housing a radar detector =P
V1 specs: 4.5 in. L x 3.6 in. W x 1.0 in. H.
Now - I can make a ghetto ass box and mount it (ask hokie about my ghetto mods ) But I want it to look nice. I've never worked with fiberglass or anything - I dont even know if that would be practical in this application. So, I'm looking for ideas on how to make the enclosure, mount it (perferably without permanent damage), what decoy to put on it, and anything else people can suggest.
Thanks
Patrick
