Good question, I'm really not sure to be honest!

Is that the MSP finish?
Yes it is.

$299 is for the laser defuser only. You still need to purchase the radar detectors for the front and rear, the control modules and installation. It's a pretty labor intensive install and that price is about what you're going to pay anywhere for a complete installation.

And obviously, for radar, I cannot defuse the signal since it's governed by the FCC.

I know, expensive, but I just cannot stand those stupid little plastic units on my windshield.

Wow... Thats pretty hardcore man. But if it save you from getting a ticket and your insurance going up, youve got the 1800 to spend and you like to speed Id agree that its a good investment.

Well, being a geek, I love having two pinhole sized blue LEDs in my instrument cluster. Left is front and right is rear. It's also got a remote and optional voice warnings as well to take the geekery up a notch. And of course, it's all Bluetooth and 100% stealth.

At night the lights look awesome. Since they're in my peripheral vision, I notice them immediately even if I can't hear them. I also have a V1 that I've sinced passed on to my wife, and with the V1 I found myself not realizing I was getting gunned until it was too late (ML was cranked), so that's what pretty much drove this purchase.

Also, range is better as well since the detectors are located in the front and rear of my car instead of on the front window. There's little to no obstructions.

The wheels are silver and the lips are polished. MSP is the actual Work terminology though.

Good job on the wheels! Just wondering if it is a O ring or R ring at the front and rear. Thanks

Keep up the good work!
