Got the rear laser shifter installed and the front radar detector installed. I didn't have time to mount the front shifters, GPS unit, or display tonight.

Mounts on top of license plate, the wiring goes up through the hole for the plate illumination. I wish it were about 1" higher, I might extend the brackets a bit to make it more concealed.

Wired into car through existing grommet in trunk:

Front radar detector installed at front of grill. Pretty tough to see unless you are close and low to the ground:

FYI, you may want to pull down your plate picture or block it out. As this is a public thread and you are talking about a radar detector/blocker setup ;)

Yes Peter, it needs a good cleaning. It sat in the rain for several days when I was up there last and then at my parents.

Josh, while this is all legal in Iowa, I agree and have blocked the license plate in pics.

Almost wrapped up the install tonight, just have to modify the center console a bit to fit the USB cable port (for software updates to the detector) and that's it.

Front laser shifters and radar detector installed recessed in front bumper grille:

Modified radio bezel to fit wideband on left and detector display on right. The bezel flips up to hide it when I don't care to see them. I had to remove the cigarette lighter to put the detector display but I have another power spot in the center console.
