Want to find a dicrete place to hide the V1 radar detector
I know most people are putting it up above the rear view mirror which is ok, but it's kinda big and clunky. I would get the remote module, which is pretty easy to locate, but I wanna hide the main module as best I can.
I'm sure StreetEffectz has to have some ideas. Fiberglass maybe? New front map light console? I don't want to do any major surgery, but want to be able to hide it better.
I've seen the installs into the rear view mirror, but damn that's a hefty price tag.
I wouldn't mind taking it apart, but it's a pretty expensive item to be screwing with.
I saw something on the web about mounting it into the front bumper, but I think it was something around $1000 for it. Too rich for my blood.
Any thoughts?

personally the best place to hide a V1 is in the trash can! i think it is a waste of money but that is my opinion. it is very big and clunky so good luck! i have the 8500 and it hides very nicely behind the tinted band at the top of the windshield. you cant really see it even if your looking for it

NSXNEXT - It would be nice to have a stealth install without paying a lot - not a easy solution I'm afraid. But along with the concealed display I got the V1 Remote Audio Adapter that I'm installing in a custom switch panel in the cup holders so I can control the on/off, volume and modes without moving That's my solution for now.
