Re: 2006 Corvette

Sweet. That is awesome. I thought my Escort 8500 X50 was sweet... guess not

I might have to look into this for the RX-7... I work with system integration so I love things like this.

I don't recognize it but there are thousands on the forum. Didn't find any references to GOT PWR on the forum either.

That's a nice looking Z though, looks like concave wheels.

Vette guys and custom plates :S
My Uncles C6 Vortech powered Vette has plates of KIKNGAS or something like that, it's black and decently quick on the freeway (640hp).

I've seen this guy before. I think I ran him when I was stock turbo E85 and he utterly destroyed me. I've seen him before for sure but I can't remember if it was him or the blue one I ran.

For sure awesome looking car!

That is my dream setup, Z06/ZR1 widebody with black concave wheels. Maybe if I could stop doing other mods I could afford it. In true DSMer fashion, I care more about functional mods than appearance. I can stick the 285 front and 335 rear tires under my base fenders so it's not really an upgrade for performance.

Re: 2006 Corvette

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:

Re: 2006 Corvette

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.

Re: 2006 Corvette

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.
