Default K40 Installed :)

Hey whats up Guys. Just had the k40 radar for the front and the rear installed and this thing really does work well. I've had the V1 for the past 3 years and I swore by it. There are a few areas on the NJ turnpike which has the Your Speed Is display and the k40 seems to be just as sensitive as my V1. Here are the pics of where they installed the hidden LEDS.

Default Hopefully it is as good as the V1...the mag tests don't say so though...and those...

"your speed is" signs are very high output...usually X-band, but here in NorCal they are K band...very "loud" and easy to detect...don't be lulled into complacency based on the detection of those radar polluters!

Install looks excellent...those buttons/blanks are finally useful for something!

Good luck...stay away from aircraft!

Default I get the units wholesale <more>

The dual unit cost me 435 and it was another 160 for installation. If people are interested I can get a group buy together and probably get them for even cheaper.
