Well, at the GTG last week, we played with a laser gun...
one of the guys that came had a speed gun (laser) and we experimented with it. Most local authorities are using the laser now. Where mine is mounted (just below the rearview mirror, the laser did NOT setoff the detector when the beam was aimed at the front license plate (a popular target for cops) from across the parking lot. It did go off when they shot at my grille.
I think that yes, higher for radar, but lower for laser. I think that is why so many have opted for the diffuser in front....to protect from both!

True. They're just different enough in shade that they look intentional, but they don't stand
out.
I bought them because the steel inside my original ones had started to rust and bubble and buying S6/4.2 blades was just as cheap as standard ones.
They give the car that wide feeling which coupled with the 17x8 wheels that push the tires out to the lip of the fender work very well.
With your wheels, they'll look awesome!

Would love to have gotten my "Funk" on with this mod, but it's the wrong type of button.
The Funk button is an on/off switch and the mute button requires a momentary switch -- the sunshade button is really the only option here.
Too bad. "Funk" would have been very groovy.
