My TSX at 2.

Well, I've had it for 2 years now, time flies. I washed it yesterday, came out today and it was COVERED with pollen. I'm fighting a losing battle keeping it clean... it's almost as annoying as road salt in the winter. It gets all over the inside too, you can see it in the pictures.

As you can see I added a few things, my boss made fun of me the other day for having so many gadgets in my car.

Looks good, but I'm questioning the fog light design. I say change it to some nice oval ones to have a better OEM look.

It looks like you just slapped a bunch of parts onto the car w/o regard to form or function.

Function over form... they work great, the PIAAs throw a nice wide pattern and when their on the contrast of rectangle lamps with the round headlights works well IMO.

Not sure I follow... the V1 is hardwired, I like XM, but it wasn't available on the 04's, I need the GPS for my job and I got a portable so I can use it in a company car too, and the fog lights work way better than OEM.

Only the GPS is plugged in, I'm not perm. installing it because I switch it between cars.

daily driver, not a show car... don't know why everyone's busting my chops. The XM install is actually pretty clean, and you can close the lid over it and never know it's there. The V1 is hardwired to the mirror and the remote makes it easier to mute and can only be seen by the driver. and the custom fog switch is 1000x better than stock PIAA gear.

the only thing that's not installed is the navi, but I use that only for work and switch it between cars. So

about 25k give or take.

I should have had my cellphone charging out the arm-rest with the (state law required) ear peice hanging off the rearview for the pics too!

No, I took them at SUNY Purchase where I go 'blading on weekends. But I know where that L&T is, I used to go to high school in that area.

I don't think that anyone is really trying to bust you chops. Just giving constructive criticism. Everyone is just suggesting that maybe you try to hide some of the wiring a little more.

I was very careful about keeping all of my installs as stealth as possible. The big reason for this, is so that someone doesn't see all of the stuff in my car and try to break in.

Nice gadgets though man

Does the Valentine1 work pretty well mounted up there?

I'm been thinking about moving mine up there, but I was worried it wouldn't have clear line of sight front and back.

My

I bought an '04 TSX in November knowing full well that the 05's were coming with XM. I knew I wanted satellite but preferred Sirius over XM for a variety of reasons. I had Sirus custom installed last month (b-day gift from my better half) and am really pleased with the result. No nasty wires anywhere. I had the antenna painted to match the car so it's imperceptible. I'm attaching photos, hopefully they'll post nicely. While I understand the convenience of having gadgets that can be used in more than one vehicle, I don't like the clutter. Check out my pictures.....

Yes, it works fine - radar detectors should be mounted as high as possible (but below the tint). And I wouldn't worry too much about line of site to the back, if a cop is hitting you with LIDAR in the ass, you're already nailed.

But proof it's got a clear site to the rear: every time one of those sneaker-shaped Infiniti SUV things comes up behind me - the Laser warning goes off.
